FreeCreditReport.com is sort of an “honest” scam. “Hey, we’re FreeCreditReport.com! Nah, you have to pay for your free credit report. Yeah, but the name is FREECreditReport.com!!! But you totally have to pay. For your FREE FREE FREE credit report.”
Under the new credit card reform legislation, outfits like FreeCreditReport.com that offer free* services will have to (1) inform consumers that the only place for a free credit report is AnnualCreditReport.com; and (2) include the statement “this is not the free credit report provided for by federal law.”
This is not the free credit report you are looking for.
