US credit reports - True? False? - 04/05/03 01:58 PM
I received this note over the pst week from several people I trust - anyone know if it is true or false?
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.
Once the message starts you'll choose option # 2 (even though option # 1 refers to this E-mail) and then option # 3 - Be sure to listen closely, the first option is only for a two-year period. Make sure you wait until they prompt for the third option, which opts you out forever.
