 TITLE: Can I Opt Out of Preapproved Credit Offers? CONTENT: How to Opt Out of Firm Credit Offers\n------------------------------------\nThe FCRA also provides consumers with the right to opt out of these offers. You can opt out of prescreened lists by calling 888-5-OPTOUT (888-567-8688) or submitting the request online at OptOutPrescreen.com. You'll need to share some personal information, such as your name, Social Security number and date of birth to submit your request.\nYou can opt out of prescreened offers for five years using the phone or online option. If you want to request a permanent opt-out, you'll need to fill out and mail in a form, which you can find online or request over the phone at OptOutPrescreen.com.\nThe OptOutPrescreen line and website are run by Experian, Equifax, TransUnion and Innovis—four major consumer credit bureaus—and you only need to submit the request once to be removed from all four bureaus' prescreening lists.\nExperian encourages consumers to make informed decisions about credit and insurance offers. Firm offers can provide opportunities to take advantage of offers that might not be available to the general public, and can provide more product choices for better comparison shopping. END
