      This company has used incorrect information, subjected me to harsh ridicule, and without permission revealed this misinformation to everyone! I have tried repeatedly to opt-out using their programmed difficult process, with no success!

      This site has exposed my information WITHOUT my permission. How this site is allowed to exist is beyond me, and judging by the number of complaints it's doubtful that they have gotten anyone's permission to display their information in such a manner. Please have them remove my info IMMEDIATELY!
