END DISTRIBUTION OF YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER, etc. BY THE FOUR MAJOR CREDIT REPORTING BUREAUS. EQUIFAX, CALL: 1-888-567-8688 Just wanted to let you and those who hasn't already heard, that starting July 1 of this year, the four major credit bureaus in the US will be allowed to release your credit info, mailing addresses, phone numbers, etc. to anyone who requests it. If you would like to 'opt out' of this release of your info, you can call 1-888-567-8688. It only takes a couple of minutes to do, and you can take care of anyone else in the household while making only one call, you'll just need to know their social security number. 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. As you already know nothing lasts forever. *******PASS THIS MESSAGE ON TO ALL IN YOUR ADDRESS BOOK******* ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
