I don't know of any other company or industry that is allowed to break privacy laws like this. The credit bureaus sell your very personal info not only without your consent but without you even knowing it has happened.

This sort of practices are not good and should be stopped in no time.

Our credit is a personal matter, but surprisingly the credit bureaus are selling it behind our backs and without our consent. We cannot expect the credit bureaus to pass our private credit information like this. They should be prohibited from this sort of activities.

And we should stand against it. Government has already started thinking on it. In the state Minnesota, the governor restricts trigger leads. a good step _________________ Procrastination is the enemy of your financial success

I did not ask to be sold to every company that is willing to pay to know I am looking. If I was to opt in to some sort of system that is fine... but like all other industries... credit bureaus should not be allowed to sell your info without your consent... You don't have a choice whether you have a credit bureau (except the obvious, but living as a hermit in the mountains doesn't appeal to me), you have a choice when it comes to most other industries whether you agree with their privacy policies and whether you want to do business with them... not true with credit bureaus. _________________ Eric Matthews Mortgage Refinance and Home Loan Guide
