    7/16/2007: Who is selling your information?
    From Laurie Carnevale, Mortgage Advisor, Coldwell Banker Home Loans

    I was on a conference call this morning and was told of a new "service" (sarcasm) that is being provided by the four national credit bureaus. National mortgage brokers and lenders are buying lists of leads called "trigger lists" from the credit bureaus. These are lists of people who have had a mortgage company pull their credit report, and within 24 hours of having it pulled the credit bureaus are selling the information to other competing lenders. Then these competing lenders are calling the people and telling them what they can do for them.

    It needs to be understood that we [Coldwell Banker Home Loans] do not sell consumer information and we have strict consumer privacy policies that we must adhere to as a financial institution. It is Equifax, Experian, Innovis, or TransUnion selling the information. The Credit Bureaus maintain that their marketing violates no federal or state rules and is merely a speeded-up version of their routine sales of lists for pre-approved offers.

    There is a way to stop this. I just did it and it takes about 30 seconds. This is the only pre-emptive action to opt-out of such offers. By utilizing this link to Opt Out you are protecting yourself for 5 Years... www.optoutprescreen.com
