You may periodically receive solicitations in the mail from companies offering you credit or insurance products. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), the Consumer Credit Reporting Companies are permitted to make your name available to those soliciting companies. However, the FCRA also provides you the right to "Opt Out" and prevent Consumer Credit Reporting Companies from making your credit file information available. This website will allow you to "Opt Out" or even "Opt In" if you would like to start receiving solicitations.
