Sample “Opt Out” Letter to Send to Credit Reporting Agencies/Bureaus
If you want to stop receiving junk mail and telemarketers from calling, then you need to keep your personal credit report information private. The best way to do this is to send an “opt-out” request letter to the credit reporting agencies/bureaus.
You can go ahead and use the following free sample opt-out letter below to draft your own letter to stop the credit reporting agencies from selling your credit history. You can copy and paste the letter to a text editor or wordprocessor, then modify it to suit your needs.
