You are aware of the fact that there are companies out there that do nothing but collect data about you, right? You're also aware that these companies SELL the data that they collect about you to other companies and the government, right? RIGHT?
Unfortunately you can't stop them from collecting and selling the data, but you can at least make sure that the data is accurate. Over in the SlickDeals forum is a post regarding how you can do just that:
Free insurance, employment history, and tenant history reports.
Be sure to take advantage of this at least once every 12 months - and don't forget to check your credit reports as well.
