In some cases, identification will be requested for those individuals banking with HONEST CAR PAYMENT’s Lenders prior to the effective date of the customer identification requirements because original documentation was not obtained with the opening of the account/loan or the Lender is unable to form a reasonable belief that it knows the true identity of the existing customer. In all cases protection of our customers’ identity and confidentiality is HONEST CAR PAYMENT’s pledge to you.

What this means to you: When you open a new account/loan, we will ask for your name, date of birth, and other information that will allow our Lenders to identify you.

This may include information obtained from a consumer reporting agency, public data bases, or other sources. If the Lender(s) is/are unable to verify information necessary to confirm your identity, an account/loan may not be opened/funded. The Lender(s) reserves the right to close your account/loan if it determines at a later date that we/they do not know your identity.

How to Remove Your Name from Credit Offers

If you prefer not to receive unsolicited pre-approved credit offers, you can remove your name from lists used by credit reporting agencies (CRAs) for these purposes. To remove your name and address, call 888-5OPTOUT (888-567-8688) or go to www.optoutprescreen.com.
When you call to remove your name from credit bureau lists, you will be given a choice to opt out for five years or permanently. Even though your request becomes effective within a week of calling, it may take several months before you see a reduction in the amount of unsolicited offers of credit.

 

How to Reduce Telemarketing Calls

The National Do Not Call Registry was created to offer consumers a choice regarding telemarketing calls and gives you an opportunity to limit the telemarketing calls you receive. The National Do Not Call Registry is managed by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation’s consumer protection agency. Thirty-one days after placing your phone number on the registry, most (but not all) telemarketers should stop calling. For more information on the National Do Not Call Registry, or to register your phone number, go to www.donotcall.gov or call 888-382-1222. Telephone numbers placed on the National Do Not Call Registry will remain on it permanently (unless you choose to remove it) due to the Do-Not-Call Improvement Act of 2007, which became law in February 2008. If you have previously registered your phone number, your registration will not expire after five years, but instead will be permanent.

 

How to Reduce Junk Mail

The Direct Marketing Association (DMA) sponsors Mail Preference Service (MPS), which has been helping consumers since 1971 limit the national non-profit or commercial mail they receive at home. If you would like to reduce the amount of advertising you receive from companies, you can register for this service online or by mail. The DMA charges a $1 fee for mail registrations.

 

Mail Preference Service

Direct Marketing Association P.O. Box 643 Carmel, NY 10512 www.dmaconsumers.org/consumerassistance.html

Your name will be removed from your list(s) of choice for three years. Removing your name from these lists will not end all solicitations from businesses that do not subscribe to the service or companies with which you do business. To eliminate mail from those businesses—as well as mail addressed to “occupant” or “resident”—write directly to each source.
