Free Credit Report: Catchy Commercial & Not Free
Interesting that there isn't a bigger storm brewing around the catchy commercials for FreeCreditReport dot com. It seems the reality is that the credit reports they offer are far from free. The US Federal trade Commission is trying to take them on with a competing commercial. I can understand how the government sees the financial system is in crisis but what's up over at the US Federal Communications Commission? We have pharmaceutical manufacturers required to create and run new commercials about their wares (seen the new Yaz commercial?)
