10/23 Say you do business with company A, and company A sells your address
to company B. Is there anything that prohibits company B from selling
your address to company C? What I'm wondering is that: if I ask my
mortgage company to stop selling my address from now on and if they
indeed honor my request, is it really going to reduct the junk mail I
get given that it already has sold my address to someone else before?
\_ When it comes to mortgage companies selling your info, I suggest
that you give up. You're getting a low rate because the company
is small and they sell the mortgage to a bigger company. And
they also make money by selling your mortgage information. That's
how they can stay in business. If you don't like that, walk into
a citibank or wellfargo and deal with them directly. You'll get
higher rates but they won't sell your info.
\_ wrong, you'll get high rates AND they'll sell it, unless
you tell them otherwise in writing at the outset. --aa
\_ mortgage info is 'public information' and just about anybody
can get it. its not a matter of them selling it.
\_ Then why would someone be willing to pay Citibank and Wells
Fargo for that info? |
