Hello, I recently opted out over the phone by calling the 1-888-5-OPTOUT phone number. It was automated and said they would contact all three credit reporting agencies to opt me out. Equifax and transunion showed me as opted out on their reports a week later. It says "File blocked for promotional purposes" on the credit report. Experian report didnt show this. A month goes by, still nothing. I called up experian and the rep said there was no record of me wanting to be opted out. Hmmm sneaky. I smell conspiracy. She said she would take care of it for me. So just watch out everyone, you might want to double check if you are opted out. I know experian must lose alot of money by not being able to sell your file to junk debtors and credit card companies, so I dont think its a coincidence that they may accidently somehow lose your request for this to be done.
