I know this has been discussed before, and I'm sorry to re-hash this stuff, but my wife and I want to opt out of credit offers through the CRA's. I tried searching the message board, but I couldn't find anything. Thanks in advance for all the assistance. ChrisB
Hi, Call 1-888-5-OPT-OUT to opt out of CRAs marketing lists. One call will remove you from all 4 bureaus (Equifax, Experian, Trans Union and Innovis). Note that option 1 removes your name for only 2 years. If you want to remove your name permanently, be a little patient, listen and choose option 3. Good luck, -- lakpr
Why opt-out? I wish I can be "opt-in" as much as possible, you can sometimes receive great offers in the mail, insurance, credit cards... For everyone that opt-out I hope they will double my opt-in mail offers LOL =) I'm not sure how you opt-out, i'm sure someone on here does. opt-me in <<<<<<<<< Double >>>>>>>>>>
Re: Re: How do you "opt out" I chose the permenant opt out because I have the credit cards that I want for the long term. I also resent these CRA's making money off of selling my name and credit info
Re: Re: How do you "opt out" But in addition to the mailed offers, don't they also sell your information to telemarketers? -Cliff
Re: Re: Re: How do you "opt out" I would imagine that they sell your info to anyone who has the money to pay. Those big lists are worth big $$
Re: Re: Re: How do you "opt out" I think so. In any case, I have noticed that we don't get nearly as many telemarketing calls as we did before opting out. (Though this may be psychological since I know we opted out! lol)
Re: Re: Re: Re: How do you "opt out" I know for a fact that the amount of junk mail that i get has substatially decreased. In fact, it decreased so much that the wife decided for the opt out also.
