Shawna shared a valuable tip in response to Bobbi’s post on her son getting inundated with credit card offers. Her tip is on how to opt out of credit card offers. She commented:
You may want to have him opt-out at the website for all 3 credit bureaus – http://www.optoutprescreen.com It’s risky for anyone to receive that many credit card offers. If they fall into the wrong hands or accidentally get delivered to the wrong house, you can have someone stealing your credit.
I checked out the site and it is legit. The site has a detailed FAQs page, privacy policy, a phone number and mailing address, and answers many questions about the process of opting out of credit card and insurance offers. Its homepage says it “is the official Consumer Credit Reporting Industry website to accept and process requests from consumers to Opt-In or Opt-Out of firm offers of credit or insurance.”
Thanks for the great tip, Shawna! Got a tip to share? Email me or if it is related to opting out of credit cards, leave a comment so others can benefit.
