Stop Credit Card Offers
You can stop receiving credit card offers in the mail! It's
really easy to do - just phone 1-888-567-8688 and follow the
prompts and provide the requested information including Social
Security number, date of birth, etc.
Do this for every adult member of your household, including
college students. Your "opt-out" status will be sent to each of
the four credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian, TransUnion and
Innovis). In four to six weeks, you will reduce the number of
these kinds of offers.
Protect your identity, save a tree and make your postal
carrier's life easier, too!
