1) OptOut Prescreen- This is the site to go to if you want yourself removed from the four major mailers of the credit card companies. Equifax, Experian, Innovis, and TransUnion are the mailers responsible for sending you the numerous preapproved credit cards you receive by mail every year, and removing yourself from these companies’ lists is only a click away. The website listed above gives you three options – 1) Opt-In meaning that you will allow your name to be on the lists because you want to receive the offers these companies have 2) Opt-Out for a term of five years 3) Opt-Out permanently meaning that they will never mail you again. While this won’t remove you from every single credit card offer, it is important for you to sign up for this service if you don’t want these credit card offers. In a recent study, it was found that it has become increasingly popular for identity thefts to take place when someone takes the information about you, which these companies put into the preapproved credit card mail. Signing up for this service is easy, and it is also necessary to stop junk mail, and identity theft.

2) DMA Choice – This site works in similar fashion to unjunkmail, in that it allows the consumer to select the mail they want, and the mail they don’t want.

That is why in coming months you will most likely see a new directive on all fronts to ask the consumer what offers they want to receive. By signing up for this site you can greatly reduce the amount of unwanted junk mail you receive every day, and finally get the mail you want.

Companies like this one are helping to make the consumer world easier, and more environmentally friendly, and this is something that we should all aspire to do as well.
