why chat, this is from the a/m link:

A loophole in the FCRA has allowed credit-reporting agencies to sell an individual's name, address, and Social Security number, she says. That's the information collectors need, not the entire credit report, so they typically buy it from a data vendor. "Why pay $3 for a credit report when you can pay 30 cents and get it from a reference data company?"

how do you stop the cra's from doing this? by that 1 800 opt out number? do you know the exact number, or web site? also can your current credit cards, like capital one sell the same info to outsiders? I seem to remember reading on something with capital one to "opt out"

thanks, I really dont like the idea of my info being sold to who ever for 30 cents !!! OMG
