      When I did it, you could opt out electronically for 5 years, but a lifetime opt out requires you to mail a printed form. I’m guessing the lenders have something to do with that and are banking on most people not having a printer.

      Edit: Or having to deal with paying for a stamp and putting something in the mail.

      But yes, I love their 90s clip art.

        Pretty much any brick-and-mortar office supply store I’ve seen provides copy machine and printing services. Probably faxing too, though I haven’t checked.

        I mean, I don’t do much in paper any more, but I’m pretty sure that most people need – even if only very occasionally – to print things.
