Full Disclosure
With all of the privacy statements that loan companies and such bring to your attention, you would think that the whole industry would be very sensitive about it. Unfortunately, I’ve been getting spammed with offers since I purchased my home almost every day in the mail.
On of the things that these companies do that really gets me mad is disclosing my financial information on a post card. That’s rite, they write on the post card how much my home was when I purchased it, and an estimate of what I pay each month. These people will do anything to get my money from interest.
I just hate all of there little tricks to make envelopes look like official documents from the government, contests, or overdue collection notices. The first thing I do is look at the size of an envelope. If it isn’t the standard size (about 5 inches by 10 inches), then it is probably not worth taking a look at it and I put it at the bottom of the pile of mail to look at. Same goes for any color other then white. If there is writing on it other then who it is from, your address and the post mark, then that also lowers my interest.
