He's done several loans for buyers that I have had over the last several years, so he's my "go to" for questions.Our credit score is actually quite good, in fact I would say excellent. I just want to get the junk mail and credit card offers to STOP. I am sick of shredding credit card offers all the time.

Try this trick too BEG.Take the junk mail. Use a magic marker, obliterate YOUR address, but leave the return address nice and clear.Write "REFUSED" on the junk and drop it in the mailbox.They get hit with "postage due" when it is returned to them. They'll take you off their lists pretty quick.
0) PAY ALL DEBTS OFF EVERY MONTH. CARRY NO BALANCES!1) You should have no more than 4 Credit cards (AX, MC, Visa) and NO revolving credit lines -- Macy's etc.2) The older credit cards do you the most good. Do not close old cards.3) Use your credit cards, but only as a substitute for cash. You need to use, then pay off, credit to build your score up. SEE ITEM 0 above!4) PAY ALL DEBTS OFF EVERY MONTH. CARRY NO BALANCES!

Yeah, if it's like a catalog you didn't want or ask for, they get dinged with first class postage on the return.
