I have YET to have a company honor that little request. How can you hold them to it? What good does it do to ask them not to send you stuff, and why do they even bother to ask when they don't respect the answer? OK so it is email instead of paper catalogs, but irritating none the less, and more proof that they don't care about our opinions.

I have to remember when ordering something, to ask for my name and info not to be sold.

Nearly a third of my junk mail is that one group. I would probably have half the mail if I could get rid of the Church of Scientology. Nearly a third of my junk mail is that one group.

They now charge $1 for the service (a bargain!). There's also a link to www.optoutprescreen.com which eliminates the credit card offers (this service is free) Sorry for the lack of info earlier!

You have to opt-out of each catalog you do not want to receive. Check out www.proquo.com to get off of other mailing lists. Jo: Catalog Choice is not a one time registry.

What is a one time registry? I'd like very much to get our address off the credit card solicitation list...we get these not only for ourselves, but for our children (we have 5). They don't even live here any more, but as soon as they went off to college, we were drowning in these. We get them daily. Plenty of duplicate offers. Maybe I missed something.
