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.
