Is there any way to get credit card companies to stop mailing me credit offers?
Credit Card
KIZIAH asked:
I am continuously getting these credit card offers in the mail. I am concerned both about the security risks of these as well as the trees they waste this way. What can you do to get them to stop sending them?

Nope. And in the 5 minutes it took for you to ask that question, your identification has been sold to 15 different companies already.
It is difficult to “live off the grid”.

If you’re talking about junk mail through the post office and not spam, then scratch out or cut out your personally identifiable information and use their postage paid returns to send them back junk mail.
If everyone does this, then these companies will have double the postage and handling costs. Hit ‘em where it hurts.

There is an opt out number on the forms they send you…take the time to call. My junk mail pile has shrunk drastically by doing this.

This will help. Call 1-888-5OPTOUT (1-888-567-8688) or go to
This should keep the Credit Reporting Agencies from providing the pre-screen info that the credit card offers rely upon. It may not stem the tide completely but it should reduce it to a trickle.
Good luck.
