Florida AG Investigates FreeCreditReport.com
Well, it's about time someone did...
Bob Sullivan writes on The Red Tape Chronicles:
The Florida state attorney general's office has opened an investigation into potentially misleading advertising by FreeCreditReport.com.More here.
The Web site, owned by credit bureau Experian Group Ltd, offers consumers a chance to obtain their credit reports and credit score by signing up for a paid subscription service.
In response to a public record inquiry by MSNBC.com, the office of Florida Attorney General Charlie Crist issued a statement indicating it had opened an investigation to determine whether Experian has violated Florida's Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act.
The investigation will cover several entities owned by Experian, including Consumerinfo.com, Inc., Experian Consumer Direct; Qspace, Inc.; Iplace, Inc.; and the Web sites Consumerinfo.com; Creditexpert.com; and Creditmatters.com.
