Not sure that this *belongs* in DFW, but I spend a fair amount of time here so here goes...
I know people can ALREADY get free credit reports through Experian, Credit Expert etc [as long as they remember to cancel the trials within 30 days] but I thought this was quite interesting...
As reported in today's METRO:
From June 2nd, a new website http://www.annualcreditreport.co.uk/ is being launched which will give consumers free online access to their credit reports once a year. The idea, according to the online Credit Reporting Agency, is to make more people aware of the data held about them and reduce errors...
Worth a look [at least for those liable to forget to cancel 30 day trials!]
Over and out.

If I don't respond to your posts, it's probably because you're on my 'Ignore' list.
