Your Credit Info
Is For Sale!
Do you receive
hundreds of unsolicited junk mail pieces from credit
cards, insurance or mortgage companies?
There’s
a good explanation for it!
Credit bureaus
make more money “selling” your credit profile to these
major companies than by simply collecting credit report
fees.
For example,
a major credit card company can buy a list on any type
of criteria (credit score, area of the country, how
many credit cards you carry) and send you solicitation
letters to transfer or open an account with them.
(Have
you ever wondered why the balances quoted in the letters
are mysteriously close to the balances you carry?)
And it’s
perfectly legal for the credit bureaus to sell your
information – unless you do something about it.
You
have the option to
“opt-out”
from
having your data
“sold”
by
calling the
PRE-SCREENED
& OPT-OUT
HOTLINE
at
888-567-8688.
They will
ask you a series of questions and you have the option
to opt-out for either 5 years or permanently.
It’s a clearinghouse
of sorts and will report your request to the 3 major
credit bureaus.
Protect
your privacy and call immediately!
