FTC warns of misleading credit report sites

The Federal Trade Commission is getting hip and cool.

Today the federal agency launched a series of silly videos to clear up confusion about which Web site offers truly free credit reports.

The videos feature a young man jamming on his guitar while singing with friends about checking credit reports on Annualcreditreport.com. That site is the place where, under federal law, people are allowed to receive a free copy of their credit report once each year.

The FTC’s videos are a spoof on FreeCreditReport.com, which has advertised its site for years with similar catchy videos of young men singing about their credit and repeating FreeCreditReport.com. Users of FreeCreditReport.com, however, are charged a fee if they do not cancel their membership within seven days of signing up.
