My wife just FYI'd me on this: ==== Your credit: Personal Information goes public starting July 1st, 2003, the four major credit bureaus in the US (Equifax, etc.) will be allowed to release credit information, mailing addresses, phone numbers, etc. to ANYONE who requests it. If you do not want to be included in this release of your personal information, you may call 1-888-567-8688. Once the message starts you will want option #2 (even though option #1 refers to this email, push #2) and them option #3. Be sure to listen closely, the first option is only for a two-year period. Make sure you wait until they prompt for the third option, which opts you out FOREVER. You should receive their paperwork in the mail confirming the "opt out" in less than one week after making the call. ==== nitro :eek:
This is an Urban Legend and false. Reference snopes at: http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/pending/credit.htm

Yer welcome. Snopes is an excellent resource for checking out very important sounding info that only circulates via unofficial sources (word of mouth, emails, boards, etc.)

Well shit happens and Nitro got it -- it could happen to the best of us. Nitro now knows that it is an urban legend but, more importantly, everyone else now knows that you're an ASSHOLE.
