-- NCTUE Notifications Being Mailed to Colorado Consumers --

ATLANTA, March 16, 2012 -- The National Consumer Telecommunications and Utility Exchange (NCTUE), a credit reporting agency (CRA) operating in compliance with the Federal Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and Colorado state law, began mailing notifications to certain Colorado consumers that they were eligible for a free copy of their NCTUE report.

Colorado state law requires that any credit reporting agency must notify Colorado consumers with instructions for obtaining a free copy of their credit report if there have been eight credit inquiries and/or they have had negative information added to their file in the past 12 months. 

Initial mailings did not include NCTUE branding, which caused some consumers to question the authenticity of the notifications.  All mailings beginning on Monday, March 19, will clearly show NCTUE branding as well as more detailed information within the letter regarding the NCTUE. 

The instructions and process for contacting the NCTUE are at www.nctue.com. In addition, consumers can write or call for more information at:

Exchange Service Center - NCTUE
PO Box 105161
Atlanta, GA 30348
Phone: 866-349-5185.
