I called the phone number. They are now only taking written requests (mail or
fax) to have your name removed. The fax number is 516/865-1930.
Supposedly, you only need to send them your name and social security
number to be removed from the database.scii"

FYI (sent to me by one of our attorneys):
Your name, social security number, current address, previous
addresses, mother's maiden name, birth date and other personal
information are now available to anyone with a credit card
through a new Lexis database called P-Trax. As I am sure you are
aware, this information could be used to commit credit card fraud
or otherwise allow someone else to use your identity.
You can have your name and information removed from this list by
making a telephone request. Call (800)543-6862, select option 4
and then option 3 ("all other questions") and tell the
representative answering that you wish to remove your name from
the P-trax database. You may also send a fax to (513) 865-7360,
or physical mail to LEXIS-NEXIS / P.O. Box 933 / Dayton, Ohio
45401-0933. Sending physical mail to confirm your name has been
removed is always a good idea.
As word of the existence of this database has spread on the net,
Lexis-Nexis has been inundated with calls, and has set up a
special set of operators to handle the volume. In addition,
Andrew Bleh (rhymes with "Play") is a manager responsible for
this product, and is the person to whom complaints about the
service could be directed. He can be reached at the above 800
number. Ask for extension 3385. According to Lexis, the manager
responsible is Bill Fister at extension 1364.
I called this morning and had my name removed. The
representative will need your name and social security number to
remove you from the list. I suggest that we inundate these
people with requests to remove our info from the list and
forward this e-mail to everyone we know.
