Computer Tip of the Week

$Account.OrganizationName
Greetings!
Stop receiving credit card offers
Make room in your mailbox for GOOD stuff

I cut this tip out of a newspaper recently. Can't remember which one, but it's something I like to remind you about occasionally. Is your mailbox stuffed with unsolicited credit card offers? Would you like to shut them down? I did and it's wonderful. Here's what you need to do.

You can opt out of pre-screened credit offers with a simple phone call to
1-888-567-8688.
This is the Consumer Credit Reporting Industry's Opt Out line which allows you, the consumer, to tell them to stop sending you these annoying offers for a period of five years.

This service is for all companies that get their client base from the four major credit bureaus. It should end the majority of unsolicited credit applications.

Do you have friends or family who would find this tip helpful? Please click on the link below, Forward email to a friend!, and send it to them. They're also welcome to sign up for my monthly newsletter as well as the Tip of the Week. Thanks for sharing.

About Me

My photo
I love teaching senior citizens to use computers. I'm a senior myself, so I'm working with my peers. When I work with you in your home on your computer, I don't sit in front of your computer and TELL you want to do. You sit in front of your computer while I TEACH you what to do. I also write step-by-step instructions for you to follow when I'm not there.
