One Year Old Gets Credit Card Offer

May 30, 2006

Considering all the information that the credit card companies have on us, I would think our age would be in that file somewhere. However we are constantly hearing news stories of infants being issued credit cards or recieving credit card offers.

How I have to wonder considering that it’s doubtful the kid accidentally signed up online or the magazine he ordered sold his information. So how do they get credit card companies offers before they can even talk?

Simple all the parent would have to do is open a savings account or do anything in the childs name. It can be the most innocent of things like signing him up to recieve children’s books and next thing you know his name is being sold left and right the same as ours.
