This is in regard to freecreditreport.com. I went online to obtain my "free" credit report. While it was technically free, I had to enter a credit card number or wouldn't be able to get my free credit report. You also had to cancel within 7 days in order to not be charged for a monthly credit report. I could not obtain my first free credit report unless I entered the information. While they company did reverse the charges, it still is quite misleading.
