Be prepared for multiple unsolicited offers from mortgage companies leveraging federal laws to legally obtain your loan details from credit bureaus and consumer reporting companies.
SFMC Home Lending is NOT selling your information, but there is a way you can stop the sales calls from other lenders without affecting your ability to obtain a home loan.
HOW TO STOP THE CALLS AND SPAM
1. OPT OUT
2. DO NOT CALL LIST
To register your phone number on the Federal Do Not Call List, visit donotcall.gov or call 1-888-382-1222 from the phone number you want to register. You will get fewer telemarketing calls within 31 days of registering your number. Your number stays on the registry for five years, until it is disconnected, or until you take it off the registry.
