I received a credit card offer in the mail today and saw this information printed. There is a phone number you can call to request a five year moratorium on the three major credit reporting agencies giving out your information to companies that will mail you insurance and credit card offers. The number is 888-5-OPTOUT. You will be connected to an automated voice recognition system which will ask for your name, address, and social security number.
After I called the numbered and provided the information, I looked once again at the credit card offer and noticed that it was actually addressed to the apartment’s previous tenant. Another good reason why everyone should call this number.
