Experian Credit reporting credit monitoring or identity protection receiving unwanted marketing/advertising October 16, 2015 - The website : - used by the credit bureaus for marketing only allows for electronic opt-out for 5 years and a consumer must print out and mail in a form to permanently opt-out.

I do not have access to a printer at home and this is a hardship on plenty of other consumers, I am sure. Thank you, -... |
