Most of the companies I've tried to opt-out from either don't recognize their obligations (you're not a 'customer' even though we're collecting your data), don't have a way to opt out short of contacting a legal department that has no public contact info, or failed to actually resolve the issue. I can only recall one case where I succeeded, in a couple dozen attempts.

Opt-out should take you approximately ten minutes - look up their agent for service of process, and send a certified letter explaining the action you want them to take to avoid the lawsuit you are considering.
