Step-by-step
- Go to the opt-out page: https://www.tlo.com/contact-us
- Find your record. TransUnion TLOxp indexes by name, address, and phone. Try variants — maiden name, middle initial, former address — if your first search misses.
- Submit the removal request. Mail certified letter to TransUnion Risk and Alternative Data Solutions, PO Box 2000, Chester PA 19016, citing FCRA Section 609 disclosure request.
- Wait the processing time. 30 minutes to draft + mail; 30+ days processing.
- Verify removal. Search yourself on TransUnion TLOxp after the processing window. If you still appear, the request may have failed silently — resubmit.
What to watch for
TLOxp is a skip-tracing tool used by debt collectors, repossession agents, and licensed investigators. Full suppression is limited to victims of stalking/identity theft and law enforcement. Standard consumers should request file disclosure.
Why this matters
TransUnion TLOxp is one of 97+ data brokers actively publishing personal information about US adults. Most people are listed across 50 to 100 brokers. Removing yourself from one site is a meaningful start — but the information is repeatedly re-indexed from public records, voter rolls, and other brokers. Sustained suppression requires repeating the process every 60 to 90 days.
The honest tradeoff
You can do this yourself in 10–15 minutes per broker. Across 97 brokers, that's roughly 20 hours of work, repeated quarterly — about 80 hours per year. Most people do the first few removals, then stop.
The alternative is an automated service. Yew is one — built specifically for high-net-worth individuals and families who value being unfindable.
Or let Yew handle this — and 96 others.
Yew is an autonomous privacy agent that removes you from TransUnion TLOxp and 96 other data brokers — and re-runs the entire sequence every quarter, forever. Built for people who would rather not be findable.
