Take Us Off Your List. . .

We have just had it with credit card solicitations, political solicitations, and other junk mail. I saw a segment on the "Today" show several weeks ago on how to "opt out" of all this "stuff" so today I finally had the time to call the numbers and sign onto the websites.

For your information:
1. To "opt out" of credit card solicitations: www.optout.com
2. To stop receiving junk mail: www.dmaconsumers.org/cgi/offmailing list (if you sign up online it costs $5; you can instead, for the price of a stamp, complete the online form, click "register by mail"; print the completed form, and mail to the address listed on the form.
3. To stop telephone solicitations: www.dma.consumers.org/cgi/offtelephone (same rules apply as in #2)
4. To reduce e-mail solicitations: www.dmaconsumers.org/consumers/opoutform_emps.shtml.

As it turns out, it's very complicated to simplify one's life!

The thing about the "Do Not Call" lists is that it still does not get rid of all of the calls. You can still get solicitation calls from the political party that you are registered to as well as credit card companies that you have accounts with offering additional services. We thought we got rid of all those as well and found out otherwise.

But it gets rid of some at least.....
