Experian in addition to providing me a credit report can tell me which of the data broker websites my personal info is listed in. Seems to be 20 or 30. Most with the exact same day in 2022. They all have an opt out process. But it often does not work. PeopleFinder.Com is an example. You do a search for yourself, copy the URL from the search. Paste it into their Opt Out webpage, add your email and they should send you a verification email to confirm and then in 24 to 48 hours, remove your info.

So I went through the process for maybe 6. Half the time I never get the verification email. The other half I do.

I wonder if these verification emails are getting blocked by a SPAM filter somewhere.

To early to see if my personal information is actually removed.

I could upgrade to a paid Experian and they would do the removal for me. Maybe I try that for a month or two.
