Is this the same opt-out information to use to stop creditors from popping up on your credit reports when they see you are clearing up your credit? I got this one creditor that was on my report more than 7 years ago. I didn't know what it was then and I still do not but all of a sudden I just got a letter from them wanting to settle for $35 bux. I don't even know what for. I never had ANY kind of account with these people.

 

Now that I'm clearing my credit and trying to get a home, they are popping up. I have one week before I try to get pre-approved and this stuff is worrying me. 

 

How do I opt-out to keep other very old stuff from popping up?

 

Thanks.


not exactly. some of these lurkers are owners of bad debt or they use a broad net to fish for people that might match the information that is on the debt and occassionally will try to reach out and test the water and see if they get a hook. that's a whole other incidious issue that will not go away with this I am afraid. sorry but keep track of everything, stay on it and that's the best you can do.

Thanks Guardian. I guess I can send them a DV letter and see what this is about.
