Opting out of "Prescreened" credit offers online.

I’m all for commerce, and advertising is just a side effect of consumerism. However, I don’t want to see ads when I’m checking my bank account online. I consider this pretty crass, and sad that my bank would opt to allow such things.

Below is the information I’ve discovered to make it go away:

If you do not want to receive prescreened offers of credit from this or other companies, call the consumer reporting agencies toll free, 888-567-8688; or write: TransUnion Name Removal Option, P.O. Box 505, Woodlyn, PA 19094; Equifax Information Service Center, P.O. Box 740123, Atlanta, GA 30374-0123; or Experian Direct Marketing, P.O. Box 919, Allen, TX 75013.

Thankfully, BofA made this fairly easy to find today (after three years of no opt out information). Perhaps they were sued.
