STOP THE INTRUSION INTO YOUR PRIVACY

The Credit Bureaus are selling your personal information as leads to anyone who will buy it. Believe it or Not , it is legal!!!

The consumer credit reporting industry has provided a way to "opt out" and remove your name from these intrusive lists. You can contact them by phone at 1-888-567-8688 or online at ttp://www.optoutprescreen.com/.

You must opt out at least 48 hours prior to having your credit checked to make sure it is processed in time. You can choose a five year or lifetime option, and the lifetime option does require a signed form. If a credit report needs to be run prior to the 48 hour waiting period - at least you are aware and informed, and can be on the lookout for suspicious phone calls or mailers from someone who has purchased your data.

BONUS: Opting out will also protect you from "pre-approved credit offers" arriving via mail...one of the leading causes of identity theft in the US.

You certainly have the right to shop for the best professional to meet your lending needs - but this should be done when and how YOU choose, not being done without your consent or permission. Looking around should be on your terms, not being done as a sneak attack, because they think you won't know better. And unfortunately, these unsolicited marketing tactics are a nuisance and intrusive, but quite legal.

So take back your privacy! Take a few minutes right now to opt out, and pass it on to all your friends and relatives. Refuse to be a part of this system.

I hope this has been of service to you. If it has, please share it with everyone you know; if not let me know how I can be of further service.
