Question: Can I stop all those credit card offers I receive in the mail? ~ Ron
Answer: Yes. It’s really easy to do - just phone 1-888-567-8688 and follow the prompts and provide the requested information including Social Security number, date of birth, etc.
Do this for every adult member of your household, including college students. Your “opt-out” status will be sent to each of the four credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian, TransUnion and Innovis). In four to six weeks, you’re mailbox will be a lot emptier!
You can also go online to Opt Out Pre-Screen if you prefer.
While you’re at it, take a few minutes to stop unwanted catalogs by calling each of them. You can also reduce your junk mail by contacting the Direct Marketing Association Mail Preference Service.
Save a tree!
Warmly, Cindy
P.S. It is OK to give them your Social Security Number because you are the one who is making the call. Never give out your private information to someone who calls you.
