Tech Daily Dose: FTC Spoofs Credit Report Commercial http://techdailydose.nationaljournal.com/2009/03/ftc-spoofs-credit-report-comme.php?rss=1 en Copyright 2010 Wed, 11 Mar 2009 18:20:59 GMT http://www.sixapart.com/movabletype/ http://www.rssboard.org/rss-specification FTC Spoofs Credit Report Commercial

The FTC is taking aim at what it believes is a potentially deceptive TV commercial for FreeCreditReport.com, a financial Web site owned by credit bureau Experian, by publicizing a spoof advertisement for AnnualCreditReport.com -- the only authorized source to get a free annual credit report under federal law. The FTC's video, which was posted on YouTube earlier this week, highlights the differences between AnnualCreditReport.com and other sites that require users to pay hidden fees or agree to additional services. The FTC's video has been viewed 8,252 on YouTube, which is roughly equivalent to the number of times the ad for FreeCreditReport.com airs over the course of an afternoon on MSNBC, or so it seems.

It's good to make efforts to repair your credit.  If you want to repair your credit, you might want to get going on it right away.  A great first step to take is to check your credit report.  Any errors should be corrected right away. Errors on your credit report can cost you in higher interest rates. Things on your credit report can last a long time, especially if you've ever declared bankruptcy.  If you need short term financing, you can always get a payday loan.  There's no credit check, and it is quicker than you'd believe, especially if you apply online.  It's best to stay away from the credit cards if you want to repair">http://personalmoneystore.com/moneyblog/2009/04/10/repair-your-credit-bonanza-2/">repair your credit.
