REDUCE unsolicitated emails, direct mail, and phone calls

DO NOT CALL REGISTRY
The Federal government created the national registry to make it easier and more efficient for you to stop getting telemarketing calls you don’t want. The Federal Trade Commission, the Federal Communications Commission, and the states are enforcing the National Do Not Call Registry. Placing your number on the registry will stop most, but not all, telemarketing calls. You can register online at http://www.donotcall.gov/ or call toll-free, 1-888-382-1222, from the number you wish to register. Registration is free.

THE CREDIT BUREAUS
There are three national credit bureaus: Experian, Equifax and Trans Union. These credit bureaus share your personal information with Telemarketers, insurance companies and financial services companies. You can opt out with these companies by calling 1-888-567-8688 or going to https://www.optoutprescreen.com/. Registration is free.
