Are there any websites you know of that have additional info on this? Hi Morgan,

Are there any websites you know of that have additional info on this?

I'm always surprised how few people seem to know about this. I was glad to see the story addressed on a national level. Thanks, Morgan and Joe.

This practice is despicable and it's unbelieveable that credit agencies are allowed to sell them. Worse, they are now selling default leads! That's right, go late on your mortgage 30 days and your credit information is sold to as many mortgage brokers that want to buy it - for about $0.25 per record. Amazingly disgusting. Thanks for keeping this at the forefront! Morgan Great point Rhonda,

It's not only a form of personal invasion; to me it's also constructively a form of identity "theft" on a corporate scale...yikes! :( I would think any consumer-conscience person who values their privacy should easily see the value in opting-out of these pre-screened credit offers. This is something I need to add to my websites...I guess the public outcry on this rotten biz practice can start with you & me, Rhonda...anyone else care to join in the chorus??? ;) Hi Rhonda,

Sometimes I feel like I'm barking up a tree and no one's getting how dreadful this is. NAMB and NAR are trying to stop this (I understand). I think it will take a public outcry to our elected officials to make this stop. There's just too much money in it for the big 3 credit bureaus. I'm off to class for some clock hours and to learn more about reverse mortgages! Thanks, Joe. Sometimes I feel like I’m barking up a tree and no one’s getting how dreadful this is.

I'll pass along this very valuable info to my friends, family & clients. Do you know of anyone (e.g. industry personnel, legislators, etc.)putting forth an effort to stop this practice of selling our personal info in this manner? Hi Rhonda,
