Shopping by mail gives you numerous choices and opportunities. However, while millions of Americans welcome these choices, others prefer not to receive such mailings.

That's why Trans Union wants to help direct marketers give American consumers the choices they want. Including the right to say, "No, thank you" to these direct mail offers.

If you want your name and address removed from all mailing lists offered by the main consumer credit reporting agencies: Trans Union, Experian, Equifax and CCA, call 888-5OPTOUT (888-567-8688), or write to the following address:

Trans Union LLC's Name Removal Option
P.O. Box 97328
Jackson, MS 39288-7328

Requests should include the following information:

First, middle, and last names (including Jr., Sr., III)
Current address
Previous address (if you've moved in the last six months)
Social Security Number
Date of birth
Signature

If you opt-out, you will no longer appear on direct marketing lists offered by these four credit reporting agencies. However, you may continue to receive commercial mailings based on lists from other sources.

The Direct Marketing Association (DMA) can provide information about opting out of lists produced by companies that subscribe to their Mail Preference Service. Contact the DMA at the following addresses:
