Unwanted Solicitations
Do you want to stop receiving credit card applications in the mail?
Credit card companies commonly purchase pre-screened lists of consumers
from credit bureaus. The pre-screened lists sold by credit bureaus can
only contain very limited information, such as the name and address of
the consumer, and other general information. These lists are used by credit
card companies when mass mailing credit card applications.
Consumers have the right to keep their names off of these lists and by
doing so will greatly reduce the number of credit card solicitations they
receive. To exercise this so-called "opt-out" right, call 888-567-8688,
which is jointly operated by the three major credit
bureaus, Trans Union, Equifax, and Experian.
To remove your name and address from national mailing lists used by other
types of merchants, or from telephone solicitation lists, write to:
