FreeCreditReport.com? NOT, says FTC

The Federal Trade Commission has taken to video to deliver the message: Freecreditreport.com is NOT the place to go. “Anyone can write a catchy jingle, but only AnnualCreditReport.com provides you with a truly free credit report. It’s the only authorized source to get your free credit report under federal law,” says the FTC.

AnnualCreditReport.com – Apartment Script

In today’s economy,
I check my credit annually.
You can do it too, (for free!)
Under the law, it’s guaranteed.

AnnualCreditReport(dot)com,
the one you can depend upon.

Other sites may turn your head.
They say they’re free. Don’t be misled!
Once you’re in their tangled web,
they’ll sell you something else instead!

AnnualCreditReport(dot)com,
the one you can depend upon.

All the others charge a fee.
Read the fine print, and you’ll see!
That’s the harsh reality.
I should know, ‘cause it happened to me!

(Mmhmm)

For truly free credit reports,
there’s only one authorized source…

AnnualCreditReport(dot)com,
the one you can depend upon.

AnnualCreditReport(dot)com.
No hidden fees. Absolutely free.
