Comments:

The one thing the FTC should do is remove all advertising and marketing by the credit bureaus before, during and even after the process of getting a free credit report. It's a pain to have to worry about identity theft or mistakes when checking your credit report. People should be able to get their reports and exit the Web site without having to go through the sales pitches. Why give the bureaus a commercial crack at all? If the FTC really wants to end consumer confusion, annualcreditreport.com should be completely commercial-free. Right?
