The Leopard Spot
Most of us are being inundated by unsolicited credit card offers and would like to stop this from occurring. First, when you get unsolicited checks with your name on them, SHRED THEM. Then call (888) 5-OPTOUT or 888-567-8688 - toll free. You will reach, with just one call, the three major consumer reporting companies. Tell them to stop giving your information to companies that want to send you pre-approved credit offers. You are required to give them your social security number (in this case, that’s okay), name and address.
You can also have your name removed from many national direct mail lists by writing to the Mail Preference Service, Direct Marketing Association, P.O. Box 643, Carmel, NY 10512. Or for a $5.00 fee, you can do this online at www.dmaconsumers.org/consumerassistance.html.
The stream of offers should slow within 30 to 90 days of your request.
