One of the worst perpetrators in the battle against junk mail is pre-approved credit card offers. Not only do I receive a lot of them (constantly adding to my waste stream), but they are an identity theft nightmare waiting to happen.
Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, you have the right to opt out of credit card offers that come from banks that use the four major credit firms (Equifax, Experian, Innovis, and TransUnion).
To opt out, visit www.optoutprescreen.com or call 1-888-5-OPTOUT (1-888-567-8688).
