So last night I get my semi-regular collection of mail sent to me at not-my-address, and glance through it. Mostly credit card offers as usual. I get no credit card offers at my address anymore, presumably due to the opt-out. I decided to actually look through them as I was curious as to what would drive them to send out offers not qualified on a credit report. Apparently they believe I'm a small business owner running a successful small business with a variant on my name. Never mind that there's no paperwork backing up any sort of business. Of course the offers are usually platinum too - guess that doesn't mean much in the way of cards these days either.
