It's Time to Opt-Out

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), the Consumer Credit Reporting Companies are permitted to include your name on lists used by creditors or insurers to make firm offers of credit or insurance that are not initiated by you (“Firm Offers”).
  • If a person has his/her credit pulled for a mortgage – his/her name will be sold to any mortgage company that will pay $$ for trigger leads.
  • Consumer credit reporting companies offer the right to make an informed decision about having people credit sold.

Highlights

The loan pre-approval process does require a hard credit check. Once the credit is pulled, the file is flagged for a mortgage credit inquiry.  The bureaus do sell this information to any lender willing to pay for the information, therefore it is likely the applicant will receive multiple solicitations in the forthcoming days.
  • The FCRA also provides the right to “Opt-Out”, which prevents Consumer Credit Reporting Companies from providing credit files information for Firm Offers.
  • Once the person opts-out, his/her name is removed for 5 years.
  • It takes 5 days for the opt-out to come into effect.
