How to stop credit bureaus from selling your data

The credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian, TransUnion, Innovis) sell your data for pre-screened credit and insurance offers. One official opt-out stops it.

1. Go to OptOutPrescreen.com — the official, FTC-recognized site.
2. Choose the 5-year opt-out (online) or permanent opt-out (requires a mailed form).
