Comments:

Free credit reports are a valuable service for consumers... except when the "free" report results in hidden fees that are deceptively marketed. 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 the consumer obtains a free annual credit report.
