Comments:

I write to strongly support the proposed rule. All advertising/marketing should be prohibited until after the consumer has received the requested credit report. My experience, when I sought a credit report on-line was: I had to read and decline all ads, and then the requested credit report was never sent. The "deal' apparently was: to get the credit report, you had to first buy something extra from the reporting company. Otherwise, 'oops!", the request got "lost". Time to stop this racket. Please quickly adopt the proposed rule. Respectfully submitted, William J. Bierbower
