I thought that Clout had finally given up on me because I didn't send them any more information, and they declined me when they tried to offer another card, so I thought I was clear, until a few days later when I received another phone call at college asking me to get a Clout Visa card. I never thought that Clout would call me again after they declined to send a card that I didn't want anyway, but apparently they're pushy and won't stop calling college students until they give in. Don't get started with Clout, because they want paper copies of all your ID's, which is strange because I didn't have to send so many pieces of identification when I applied for and eventually received credit from another company. Parents should warn their son or daughter about these credit card companies that call student numbers so they can pressure the students into getting credit cards, and some reports I've read suggest that Clout sends unsolicited credit cards to some students who have just turned 18.
