I recieved this form someone in work
Your name, social security number, current address, previous
addresses, mother's maiden name, birth date and other personal
information are now available to anyone with a credit card through a
new Lexis database called P-Trak. As I am sure you are aware, this
information could be used to commit credit card fraud or otherwise
allow someone else to use your identity.
You can have your name and information removed from this list by
making a telephone request. Call (800)543-6862, select option 4 and
then option 9 ("P-trak") and tell the representative answering that you
wish to remove your name from the P-trax database. You may also
send a fax to (513) 865-1930, or physical mail to LEXIS-NEXIS attn:
P-trax / P.O. Box 933 / Dayton, Ohio 45401-0933. Sending physical mail
to confirm your name has been removed is always a good idea.
As word of the existence of this database has spread on the net,
Lexis-Nexis has been inundated with calls, and has set up a special set
of operators to handle the volume. In addition, Andrew Bleh (rhymes
with "Play") is a manager responsible for this product, and is the person
to whom complaints about the service could be directed. He can be
reached at the above 800 number. Ask for extension 3385. According
to Lexis, the manager responsible is Bill Fister at extension 1364.
They are no longer accepting calls but you can fax toll-free to
1-800-732-7672 or send email direct to p-trak@lexis-nexis-com.
Sorry for the no VW content, but I thought this was important to share.
