I support your proposal to require a separate landing page on sites which advertise free reports which explains that the reports are NOT the free reports guaranteed by the federal government. I also support your proposal to delay advertising for other credit products until after consumers obtain their free annual credit reports. Decades ago Congress passed a "Truth in Advertising" law; possibly, it is time to dust it off and put it to work again?? Thank you for your time.
