I have used the annualcreditreport.com several times in the last few years. One of the biggest problems I have with it is that it is located at a very generic URL, and one that ends in the .COM domain. The name is so generic that it can be hard to tell it apart from scam and other fraudulent websites that I tend to be overly cautious about getting to the correct site. (Most of the time I will go to a consumer-related website and take a link from there.) I believe that the website currently located at annualcreditreport.com would be easier to land on safely (without getting scammed) if it was at a different, more easy to recognize-as-legit address. Thank you for taking the time to listen to my comment. Respectfully, Matt White
