Comments:

Remove all advertising and marketing by credit bureaus entirely before, during and after the process of getting the free credit report. One should be able to obtain the report(s) and exit without enduring sales pitches. I teach personal finance responsibility and alway have to caveat my prodding to obtain the free reports to avoid the ads. Many students will ask, "why does the Governement allow them anyway?" I do not have an answer for them. Check out the Conquer Debt Year Round Page-A-Day calendar at www.printedowl.com. I have a few references to the annualcreditreport.com in this calendar and feel you are providing a very worthy service.
