What is opt out?

Opting-Out refers to the process of removing your name from lists supplied by the Consumer Credit Reporting Companies, Equifax, Experian, Innovis and TransUnion (“Credit Bureaus”), to be used for firm (pre-appoved/prescreened) offers of credit or insurance. Your rights as a consumer under the Fair Credit Reporting Act include the right to “Opt-Out” for 5 years or permanently.

Opt out is allowed in order to comply with the 1998 Data Protection Act. Basically you can opt out for whatever reason and you will not be asked why. If you later on change your mind you can opt in again. The Opt out/in link is on the menu (left column).
