Thank you for this Shelley; I've received mine in Braille several times and,
the last time, my entire social security number was displayed instead of just
the last four numbers. Your email reminded me to contact them about this
because I've already had my identity stolen three times in the past. I've
practically written a book about how blind people can protect themselves
against having our information compromised. *smile* Thanks again.

Just passing this on.
Have You checked your ACCESSIBLE Credit Reports in 2010?
As the holiday season approaches it is a great time to review your free
credit report - available in Braille, Large Print or audio format, or on-line in
an accessible on-line format. Every United States citizen is entitled to one
free report every twelve months from each of the three companies: Equifax,
Experian and Trans Union. These companies have been providing accessible
reports for two years as a result of ACB and CCB's Structured Negotiations
advocacy
efforts.
You can request your report in Braille, Large Print and Audio formats by
calling 877-322-8228. This is a toll-free automated system. You will be asked
to chose your alternative format towards the end of the call, after you enter
identifying information.
Please note that while credit reports (also known as credit disclosures) are
free through the toll free number above, credit scores are not. Information
on how to order a credit scores will be provided to consumers ordering the
initial reports. Scores should also be provided in Braille, Large Print, and
audio formats to those who order the initial disclosure in these formats.
You can receive your credit report on line in accessible format by visiting
www.annualcreditreport.com
More information about free accessible credit reports can be found in the
post on Lainey's web site at:
http://lflegal.com/2010/11/credit-access/
You can contact Lainey and Linda to report any problems (or positive
experiences) by email at
LF@xxxxxxxxxxx
or by toll-free telephone to Linda's office at 1-800-822-5000. You can also
use this contact information to report other financial or health care
information
that is not accessible to you.
As with all Structured Negotiations agreements - it is important that members
of the blind community use the accessible services and information that the
advocacy of ACB, CCB and its members have brought about!
