There is only one online source authorized to provide you with your free credit reports. www.annualcreditreport.com Opt Out! You can limit the number of pre-approved credit offers issued in your name by removing your name from the marketing lists of the three credit reporting bureaus. A representative will ask for your Social Security number and will then ensure that your information is protected from general disclosure. It is not unusual for businesses to sell your information to marketing agencies as a source of revenue. While they are prohibited by law from disclosing your Social Security number and other identifying financial information to others, these businesses may sell your name, address, phone number and other personal information on a regular basis. If you prefer to stop receiving such offers, you can contact your creditors in writing and ask that you be removed from their solicitation lists and to withhold your information from their affiliates. You can also contact the Direct Marketing Association's Mail Preference Service and request that they remove your name and home address from national mailing lists. You can add your name, address and telephone number to state and federal "no-call" lists, which will identify you as someone who does not wish to receive telemarketing calls. Being on these lists will stop many unwanted sales calls.
