Are you concerned about how easy it is for companies that you have not applied to for credit to access your credit reports? Are you aware of unauthorized access to your credit reports?

Do you wonder why you get so many unsolicited "pre-approved" offers for credit or for credit cards?

Have you recently requested and reviewed a copy of your credit report only to find a number of companies you don't know, or at least haven't applied to, have requested a copy of your credit report?

Are you frustrated with the volume of junk mail you receive offering you money or credit?

Well, there is something you can do about it. You can call a toll-free number, and in a few minutes, you can request that no unauthorized companies or individuals can have access to your credit files. The process is easy and totally automated...just follow the telephone instructions.

The number to call is 1-888-567-8688.
