Two commercials you should watch....

[poltr1]

Many of you have probably seen the commercials with the young guys singing the praises of freecreditreport.com. What they don't say in their songs -- but is mentioned as a disclaimer and a caption -- is that in order for people to get their credit report, they have to sign up for a service called Triple Advantage. I suspect this service costs money. Furthermore, my sources tell me that this website is owned and operated by Experian, one of the three major credit reporting companies here in the USA.

So, the folks at the FTC decided to parody them, plugging the site annualcreditreport.com. Here are their commercials.
