Free Credit Report Follies

Privacy expert Dan Solove has an excellent post over at Concurringopinions.com describing the trials consumers face when they try to find their federally-mandated free credit reports on the Internet. Even after you beat your way to annualcreditreport.com (the right place), you still face slick and deceptive marketing of over-priced products. My most recent posts on the final lurch of the staggered free report rollout and on Experian's recent civil penalty and restitution order for deceptive marketing of "free" products.
