This month's health newsletter at De Anza included a somewhat lengthy piece (for the size of the newsletter) on identity theft. (Why? I guess because a lot of people read it. I suppose it is a kind of health...) When talking about the wisdom of shredding unwanted credit card offers rather than throwing them out the normal way, this was mentioned:
"Remove your name from the marketing lists of the three credit reporting bureaus -- Equifax, Experian (formerly
TRW) and Trans Union. Call 888-5OPTOUT. This will limit the number of pre-approved offers of credit that you
receive."
I know I could sure use less junk mail of that kind. Three credit cards is plenty, thanks. :P
