Sultan Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 Actually more than likely it will say;File Blocked For Promotional Purposesif it does not a simple phone call to the reporting companies to varify status should be easy enough.

DocDon Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 I haven't checked up this in while, but there may still be 2 ways to opt-out. One is permanent, the other is temporary. The difference between the two is one is done over the phone, the other is done in writing.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sultan Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 You are correct Doc, this is a multiple choice thing.Its probably listed like a thousand times somewhere on this site, but heres the link; http://www.optoutprescreen.comOpt-Out Contact Information This choice includes the right to say, "No, thank you" to their offers. If you want your name and address removed from mailing lists obtained from the main consumer credit reporting agencies -- TransUnion, Experian, Equifax, and Innovis, go to www.optoutprescreen.com, or call 888-5OPTOUT (888-567-8688) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocDon Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 You're right CS, it's been brought up. Just not sure if they decided to up and change that procedure too....To add, don't forget to opt out with the DMA (Direct Marketing Association) for both phone and mail solicitations.http://www.the-dma.org/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aints68 Posted March 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 Thanks. I thought that it should be on there but I haven't seen it show up yet. How long does it usually take for them to get this on here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
