How to get off of credit card lists/junk mail lists??

[tkkmasky]

I get tons of pre-approved cc offers (average about 3 a DAY) and I'm so sick of it....anyone can drive up to our mailbox and steal them...ugh.

I looked online to see how to get off those lists but the 2 sites I found looked like scam sites in themselves! (lol, maybe they weren't, but I'm very suspitious.) Any tips? thanks a bunch!!

This is the quickest and most effective method
of eliminating junk mail. It'll get you on the
"Don't mail to me" list of many companies,
including ones you've never heard of.
The result: You'll only receive catalog and
offers that you have requested yourself.

Send a letter to the Direct Marketing
Association's Preference Services.
Include your name and address, and
clearly state that you do not wish to receive
any direct mail from its members.

The addresses to stop junk mail are:

In the U.S.A.:
Mail Preference Service
Direct Marketing Association
P.O. Box 9008
Farmingdale, NY 11735-9008.

Instead of contacting Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion separately by mail, you can opt out with all of them by calling toll-free:

1-888-5OPTOUT (1-888-567-8688 )

You will reach a recorded message that prompts you to leave your information. You can stay on the line and repeat the process for others at your address that receive these unsolicited applications.

I did this about a month ago. I'm looking forward to a lot less junk (fingers crossed tightly).

thanks eldo...I'll have to try that one too, (as soon as I get offline, that is.)

After I posted the above info, I checked my snail mail, and there was a form for both DH and I from the service I mentioned!

After you call the toll-free number and leave your information, the company sends back a form verifying that the information they have is correct, then you sign and date the form and mail it back. They do warn that you may continue to get marketing materials from companies who do not use consumer data to compile lists.

So unfortunately, it looks like these type of requests have to be done in writing. This company says your name will be removed from Equifax, Experian, TransUnion, and Innovis.
