How
To Opt Out Of Credit Reports (8-27-01)
Just wanted to let everyone know who hasn't already heard, the four major
credit bureaus in the US are now allowed, as of July 1, 2001 to release
your credit info, mailing
addresses, phone numbers..... to anyone who requests it.
If you would like to 'opt out' of this release of info, you can call 1-888-567-8688. It only takes a
couple of minutes to do, and you can take care of
anyone else in the household while making only one call,
you'll just need to know their social security number.
Be sure to listen closely, the first opt out is only for two years,
make sure you wait until they prompt you to press '3' on your keypad
to opt out for good.
