opt-out

I'm opted out (applying for a mortgage) but still recieveing preapproval offers from my existing creditors. Is this normal?

 

Or do I need to re- opt out?

 

Just got preapproval from capone for an auto loan and a pre-approval from citi (Just got added as an AU on my mom's sears citi card)

Re: opt-out

It's normal. Once you have a relationship with a company, they can do this. You don't need to do the big opt-out again. However, you might want to opt out of their individual marketing programs.

 

Usually you can do this on their web sites, somewhere in the profile or account settings portion of your interface. If not, you can call them and tell them what you do and don't want to receive from them.

hmm.. how do you know if you're opt in or out?  how can you find out? I have access to all 3 CA reports but none seem to tell me and I never get anything..
