Go to this website BEFORE you allow anyone to pull your credit 
Recent client:  “Thanks again for your help in closing the refi and making this happen at a good rate and a smooth transaction.  One last question/request, since we closed I have been getting multiple mailing (regular mail) on various solicitations ranging form life insurance, mortgage insurance, etc.. It may not be anything that your firm did, but maybe you may know how to make this stop, if so please let me know.”

Response: It’s ridiculous the amount of solicitations you will get when you have your Credit pulled.  We would never give your name and info to anyone.  However, the credit bureaus have no problem selling your info.  This infuriates me that they’re able to do so once we pull credit. One thing I recommend to everyone is that you go to https://www.optoutprescreen.com/opt_form.cgi.  This site will keep you from receiving these solicitations of insurance and credit offers for the next 5 years.  I subscribed myself and it’s amazing how much junk mail I DON’T get anymore. If you haven’t done so, I would also go to https://www.donotcall.gov/ so you are never called.
