Guest guest Posted June 13, 2002 Report Share Posted June 13, 2002 - James J Courtney Wednesday, June 12, 2002 1:45 PM IMPORTANT!!! Remove Your Name From Credit Lists My dear family and friends, I strongly recommend that you and your loved ones permanently opt out of credit companies sharing your information. I received the following email and I opted out for Sally and I. Read this carefully to follow the correct prompts. Share this with your friends. James End distribution of your Social Security number, etc. CALL: 1 888-567-8688 Just wanted to let everyone know who hasn't already heard, the four major credit bureaus in the US will be allowed, starting July 1, to release your credit info, mailing addresses, phone numbers, etc., to anyone who requests it. If you would like to 'opt out' of this release of your info, you can call 1-888-567-8688. It only takes a couple of minutes to do, and you can take care of anyone else in the household while making only one call, you'll justneed to know their social security number. Once the message starts you'll want option #2 and then option #3 - Be sure to listen closely, the firstoption is only for a two year period. Make sure you wait until they promptfor the third option #3 which opts you out forever. I received their paperwork in the mail confirming my 'opting out'' within less than one week of making the call. *§ §* Subscribe:......... - digest emails:..... -digest Individual emails:. -normal To Post:...........
