CardRatings.com Founder Curtis Arnold Weighs in on New Restrictions to Free Credit Report Offers

Little Rock, AR (PRWEB) April 12, 2010

Curtis Arnold, founder of consumer education site CardRatings.com, weighed in on the implications of new Federal Trade Commission (FTC) rules governing free credit report offers, which took effect April 2.

The FTC imposed rules on companies that offer services using free credit reports as an incentive to attract customers. The new regulations require that free credit report offers clearly differentiate themselves from the AnnualCreditReport.com Web site, through which individuals are entitled to free credit report information annually. The regulations also restrict advertising and paid offers on AnnualCreditReport.com.

Arnold, a nationally recognized consumer educator and advocate, says the new laws are a boon to consumers. “I think this is a positive step for consumers. As the editor of CardRatings.com, I have always strived to promote awareness of one’s own credit reports and credit scores. It’s unfortunate that some companies have taken advantage of people’s desire to manage their credit reports as a way to sneak in unwanted services. The end result has been major confusion among consumers.”

Since 2003, Americans have had the right to a free annual credit report at AnnualCreditReport.com with no strings attached. Other sites have since proliferated, claiming to offer credit reports for free. In actuality, these sites–which frequently ask for consumers’ private information and credit card numbers–often tack on trial offers for credit monitoring services or even unrelated items such as magazine subscriptions that are billed later. These extras are not always prominently disclosed, and consumers are further misled by advertising that reinforces the claim that these credit reports are free.

Offering something for free in order to get you to try and perhaps buy a service is a legitimate marketing technique, and reputable firms make cancellation and/or refunds easy to get. Yet many who sign up for free credit report offers–only to be billed for services they did not want–report poor experiences or even scams.

Because the operative word here is “free,” those who charge for credit reports are not subject to the new regulations. Arnold explains how some companies are taking advantage of this: “Be mindful that some companies, including respected credit bureaus, have already developed clever ways to avoid the FTC’s regulations. For example, the popular site FreeCreditReport.com that is owned by Experian (the one with the catchy little TV commercial jingles and three hapless guys) is now charging customers $ 1 and then donating the $ 1 to charity.

“Pretty creative way to dodge the law and tout your charitable efforts, don’t you think?”

A new article on CardRatings.com explains common tactics of companies offering free credit report services, as well as the ways in which the FTC rules should curtail practices that mislead consumers. In particular, the FTC now requires that:

    Sites advertising free credit reports prominently disclose to consumers that they are entitled to an annual credit report through AnnualCreditReport.com or through a designated toll-free number;
    These sites offer clickable links to the Federal Trade Commission and AnnualCreditReport.com Web sites;
    The three major credit bureaus participating in the AnnualCreditReport.com Web site delay advertising or paid upgrade offers until after a consumer has completed his or her request for credit reports; and
    Television and radio advertising for free credit reporting services as of September 1 include disclosures about related trial offers and refer potential consumers to the AnnualCreditReport.com Web site and toll-free number.

CardRatings.com has been educating consumers about credit cards since 1998 and has been featured by hundreds of media outlets, including The Wall Street Journal, Good Morning America, The New York Times, and The Today Show. Thanks to consumers, CardRatings.com has become the most comprehensive free source for comparing credit card offers and has helped over a million people find the best credit cards for their individual needs.

Curtis Arnold is available for interviews on this topic and others relating to the changing trends in the credit card industry.

Related Understanding Credit Report Press Releases



FTC Completed Their Rollout of Free Credit Reports Last Month

Lancaster, CA (PRWEB) October 23, 2005

All U.S. residents were granted access on September 1st, 2005 to their credit reports as allowed by federal law. It happened amongst a mist of lawsuits, misinformation, and misdirection even from the credit reporting agencies themselves: Equifax, Experian, and Transunion.

Don’t try to get yours directly from the credit bureaus. The websites Experian operates, Consumerinfo.com and freecreditreport.com, settled with the FTC in August for “$ 950,000 in ill-gotten gains” according to David H. Press of Integrity Bankcard Consultants Inc.”

“The federal government estimates nine million people signed up for free credit reports and ended up being billed $ 80 for a full year of credit monitoring” said KVUE News in a Consumer Alert they issued last month warning consumers of the “Free Credit Report” offers.

Despite the FTC’s efforts to protect consumers the misleading practices continue. Freecreditreport.com and consumerinfo.com offer the “free credit reports” as a trial offer for their credit monitoring service. Disclosures are there – in fine print dwarfed by the statements – “FreeCreditReport.com,” “Free,” “Fast,” “Easy,” & “Get Yours Now.”

The credit reporting bureaus are taking some measures to comply. Experian added a link to the top of their website to the only site where the free credit reports are available – yes, really, totally free, with no credit card required: annualcreditreport.com. And Equifax’s Corporate Vice President & General Counsel, Kent E. Mast sent an e-mail to all of Equifax’s online affiliate’s asking them to, “Please review promptly your websites and URLs and take all measures to ensure that they do not mislead or divert consumers from annualcreditreport.com”

On September 1st, residents of every state in the union, the U.S. territories and possessions, and Puerto Rico were granted access to their credit reports for free every 12 months — a right the FTC fought years for.

Consumers worried about identity theft, concerned about loan rejection, or simply curious about their credit standing can go online to http://www.annualcreditreport.com. Within 15 minutes they will be able to view or download their credit report, the document that defines their credit-worthiness, without being asked for a credit card – and without the credit monitoring baggage.

Free Financial Help from Consolidated Credit: Experts Urge that it is Time for a Fall Financial Check-Up

Ft. Lauderdale, FL (PRWEB) September 15, 2011

Now that the summer fun is over, it’s back to reality. With the kids back in school, this can be a great time to do an assessment of one’s personal finances and make a plan for future spending. Consolidated Credit Counseling Services Inc. is urging consumers to evaluate their expenses to make sure their personal finances are in order for the rest of the year.

In the first half of 2011, the average national mortgage debt per borrower increased to $ 190,115, according to TransUnion. The average credit card debt per borrower was $ 4,679.

“With debt in the United States continuously growing, it is extremely vital to seize control of your current finances,” says Howard Dvorkin, CPA and founder of Consolidated Credit. “The best way to end the year is to achieve financial prosperity through knowledge of your assets, money management and proper savings.”

Dvorkin, who has had almost 20 years of financial experience, is offering a Fall Financial Check-Up to help consumers remain on top of their money situation before the Christmas crush is upon them. Steps consumers should follow to do a financial check-up:

1.    Get a free credit report. The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) requires each of the nationwide consumer reporting companies — Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion — to provide a free credit report, at your request, once every 12 months. Visit annualcreditreport.com to request it immediately. Knowing one’s credit score is a a valuable asset for any future large purchases or employment opportunities.

2.    Pay off debts. Don’t put off debt any longer. If debt is becoming a burden, enroll in a debt counseling agency to get help. Certified financial counselors can offer advice that can lower payments by consolidating debt, enabling a person to become debt-free faster and easier.

3.    Manage finances. Create a budget to know how much you’re able to spend each month. Do not use credit cards; it’s much better to pay for items in cash to avoid credit card troubles. Also, start a savings account in case any emergency expenses turn up.

4.    Do taxes early. Gather documents and receipts now. It’s better to start on taxes early to allow time for changes. Do research on allowable deductions. For example, medical expenses that exceed 7.5 percent of income can be deducted.

5.    Identify goals. People are more encouraged to save money if they have a goal in mind. A trip to Hawaii or a cruise in the Bahamas can serve as an incentive to putting away savings. Buying a newer car in full can also be a great aspiration as there is no need for financing or any associated interest.

6.    Protect assets. Look over insurance plans and see if any policies have changed. Review homeowner’s or renter’s insurance to make sure the home is well-protected. Don’t forget about auto insurance and health insurance. Also, do a quick check-up on the warranties associated with expensive electronics to determine whether purchasing a newer model is better than extending the warranty.

7.    Review retirement plans. One of the best tax-reducing strategies is to contribute the maximum to a 401(k) plan. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has announced that the 2011 maximum pre-tax contribution to the 401(k) is $ 16,500. If one’s employer doesn’t have a 401(k), they may want to set up an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) on their own to ensure funds for retirement.

More Get Free Credit Report Press Releases

It’s a Fact: An Absolutely Free Credit Report is Your Right By Law

Yes, you have a right to receive an absolutely free credit report from each of the three credit reporting agencies in the United States. Your right to receive an absolutely free credit report is a federal public law, precisely, public law 108-159. The law that made an absolutely free credit report for consumers a right was passed by The 108th Congress on December 5, 2005. It is entitled the Fair and Accurate Credit Transaction Act (FACT) of 2005.

The Act amended an earlier credit report law entitled the Fair Credit Reporting Act. FACT amended the Fair Credit Reporting Act to include a provision for an absolutely free credit report. In Title II of FACT, (IMPROVEMENTS IN USE OF AND CONSUMER ACCESS TO CREDIT INFORMATION), under section 211, which is entitled “Free Consumer Reports”, all credit reporting agencies are required to give consumers their credit reports once during a 12 month period “upon the request of the consumer without charge to the consumer”. This law reversed the practice of credit reporting agencies to charge consumers for their own credit report.

FACT goes on in Title II to state that the consumer may get an absolutely free credit report only if the consumer makes that request from a centralized source that a government commission would oversee in its development. At minimum, credit reporting agencies are required to provide a toll free number consumers may call to make their request. It also states that credit reporting agencies have 15 days in which to provide the absolutely free credit report to the consumer after the consumer has made the request.

FACT also states that consumers may also request a reinvestigation of the details of their credit report after they receive it and that credit reporting agencies must complete that investigation within 45 days after a request for reinvestigation. This assures that consumers may use the absolutely free credit report after they receive the results of the reinvestigation.

The three credit reporting agencies in the U.S., Equifacts, Experian, and Transunion, together formed a centralized source that consumers can use to request their credit report as required by FACT. You can call their toll free number, which is 877-322-8228, to make your request. Alternatively, you can mail your request to the Annual Credit Report Request Service, P.O. Box 105281, Atlanta, GA 30348-5281. You can also apply for it online and receive it online at the Annual Request Service’s website at www.annualcreditreport.com. Thanks to FACT, an absolutely free credit report is now at hand.

Free Annual Credit Report

Would FREE copies your credit report be of interest? If you are committed to repairing your credit or simply want to know what is on your credit report, I have good news for you. A free copy of your credit report is available to every consumer annually. This article discusses the free report as well as repairing your credit report once you have your credit file on hand.

Colorado, Georgia, Maine, Massachusetts, Maryland, New Jersey and Vermont always had a right to one free report per bureau each year. But now this same benefit is available in every state – one FREE credit report from each of the three major national credit bureaus every 12 months.

Additionally, consumers may be entitled to a free report under certain other conditions, such as having been denied credit, insurance or a job within the past 60 days. You’re also entitled to a free report if you think your report is inaccurate due to fraud.

But under the new law, Equifax, Experian and TransUnion have an online site where you can get a free report at Annual Credit Report. There is also a toll-free phone number: 877-322-8228. Finally you can write to P.O. Box 105281, Atlanta, GA 30348-5281. Yahoo News suggests: “If you do use the postal address, it’s best to print and mail in a completed online request form. You can’t get your report unless you answer questions on the form.” There is also information available through Federal Trade Commission.

You can purchase additional reports and/or a credit score by contacting one of the consumer credit reporting companies.

Equifax

Experian

TransUnion

You can also purchase a credit score when you request your free annual credit report through Annual Credit Report (referenced above.)

You might want to note that each bureau offers credit ID fraud called safeguard services, but for fees. For example TransUnion offers “ID Fraud Watch”. For .95 each quarter, you get a credit report every three months and ,000 of identity theft insurance.

]]>

Once you have your report, what do you look for?

Here are some basic things you should check on your report. Go through your entire report entry by entry. Have the credit agency legend by your side in order to verify coding compliance. Have also a paper and pencil to annotate any item you find in error. Go slowly.

Don’t assume your personal information is correct. You could be viewing information from someone else’s report with just a simple error such as: first name misspelled, missing Jr./Sr., erroneous address, bad zip code, wrong employer, or any other incorrect personal data.

Insure marital information is correct. Are accounts listed as “joint” really joint?

Is the report in compliance with court settlements? Outdated information is normally considered to be any item older than 7 years except for bankruptcy, which is usually 10 years.

Closed accounts should not be listed as open. Accounts you closed should reflect, “Closed by consumer”. Otherwise it can be assumed that it was closed by the creditor– not good.

Accounts should not appear twice even in different sections.

Incorrect histories such as late payments, a credit entry you do not recognize, a pre-marital debt of your current spouse, or other such items need your attention.

Are there missing reports that would be beneficial to show a good history, and are profiles, credit limits, and balances correct?

A former correction to your credit file that has since disappeared should be brought to the agency’s attention.

_________________________________

Final Comments: I am often asked if a collection company sells your account to another collection agency, can you get the first one deleted from your report or will it just show as a zero balance

Reporting depends on who owns the account there are several directions this can take:

If the original creditor still owns the account but assigns the debt to a collection company then both get to report on that account listing.

If the original creditor retracts the collection and re-assigns it to a new collection agency then both original creditor and the 2nd collection agency can report but the first one must remove their listing off of the credit report.

If the original creditor sells the debt to a collection agency then the creditor will report zero balance / sold to another lender, and the collection agency will report.

If that collection agency assigns a debt to another collection agency then it is allowable for both to report the account listing, but if they take back that account then that assigned collection agency must remove their reporting.

Now if that collection agency sells the debt to another collection agency they get to keep their reporting on the report since they owned the account at one time, and the new collection agency picks up on the reporting.

Therefore, the difference is if your account is “assigned” or “sold”.

Free Credit Score Report – Government Mandates Free Credit Reports for All Consumers

The federal government is currently offering all consumers the option of obtaining a free credit report once every year.

This free credit report allows consumers the chance to become aware of their credit history, possible identity thefts, and areas to improve in, once every twelve months.

Aurora Lillo Editor of the “Get MY Credit Report” website — http://www.GetMyCreditReport.biz — pointed out;

 

“…While this is a great resource for all consumers, many will find that viewing only one credit report per year does not give consumers ample information to stay up-to-date on their financial standing…”

Three Reasons Why Receiving One Credit Report A Year Is Simply Not Enough:

1. While receiving one free credit report a year is better than never viewing one’s report at all, it is almost impossible to improve one’s financial standing without viewing more than one credit report per year. Most people should consider using this free report as a starting point in repairing their financial history. Even those that have a good score may still benefit from making a few simple changes. This free report may be used to view any negative aspects in one’s financial history, whether those may be a debt in collections or credit cards that are nearing their limit. Once the negative factors influencing one’s score has been determined, one can then begin to work towards fixing any imperfections.

]]>

2. A person that regularly checks their report is at a much reduced risk of becoming a victim of identity theft. While those that regularly check their credit report may also become victims of identity theft, they are at a much greater advantage of catching a theft early and rectifying the situation before it spirals out of control. A great deal of damage can be done to one’s financial standing within the span of a year. In fact, someone that has a good score can easily find themselves with several fraudulent credit cards and/or loans that total thousands of dollars. However, someone that frequently checks their report will be able to spot a fraudulent debt and notify the proper authorities before their situation becomes dire.

“… People that frequently check their report tend to be more financially responsible. In terms of financial standing, ignorance is not bliss. Ignorance, many times, leads to one not being aware of how their debts, occasional late payments, and credit cards are truly affecting their financial history and credibility. As most people would agree, it is much easier to be aware of one’s standing and make efforts to improve their score over time, than to find yourself in a difficult situation when attempting to obtain a home or other important loan…” added A. Lillo.

Related One Free Credit Report Per Year Articles

Free Credit Rating Government – U.S. Consumers Are entitled to a Free Credit Report

Under the Fair Credit Act, all US consumers are entitled to receive one free credit report each year.

These are compiled by three different consumer reporting bureaus, Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. In order to receive them, though, you must personally request a copy.

Aurora Lillo Editor of the “Best Credit Reporting Services” website — http://www.BestCreditReportServices.com — pointed out;

 

“…In other words, this information is not automatically sent to you once per year but is rather sent upon your request. You can request the report from all three agencies at one time or you can request it from one at a time spaced out in any way you choose over a one year period…”

Each of these three separate consumer reporting companies collect and compile slightly different data, therefore their information may vary. Small local and state wide credit agencies around the country collect information about your financial habits directly from creditors in your area. Any financial transactions you are involved in that involve credit, including your payments made, are reported directly to a local agency every month. Thus your financial history is detailed on an ongoing basis and sent to these smaller agencies who in turn pass it onto the larger agencies. Some creditors pass on information to all three of the larger bureaus whereas a merchant may only send information to one. This is why you may find information on one report that is not included on another. For this reason it is a good idea to request your report from all three bureaus as otherwise you may not receive a complete picture of all of your financial dealings and history.

]]>

“…There are several reasons why you should carefully review the information contained on these reports. Identity theft is on the increase; however this is easily spotted by reviewing this information. If you see transactions listed that you were not involved in, that should immediately send an alert that something may be amiss. Likewise, if you are planning on asking for a loan it would be a good idea to check your rating first as that may give you some idea of whether your request would be granted or not. If you do this in advance you will have time to correct any mistakes that have erroneously appeared on your report, as well as time to resolve anything that may reflect negatively on you. For example, if one of your credit cards is maxed-out that would show up on your record. If you have given yourself enough time you could easily re-allocate this amongst your other cards, thus immediately improving your score…” added A. Lillo.

As you are eligible for this free report once every year it is highly recommended that you take advantage of the opportunity to receive it.

Equifax Absolutely free Credit score Report Alternate options

Numerous persons have heard of the Equifax cost-free credit score report, as this comes from a properly recognised name in this sector. There are 3 manufacturers which are so properly identified that they are virtually family names. This reporte de credito branding is a clever coverage, as it tends to obscure other services which could be much better suited to today’s demands for credit score scores and added on the internet safety which the older solutions do not give.

In the UK, banks do not have to have to reveal their credit score ranking head, nor are they obliged to disclose the minimal credit score required for the applicant to be accepted. Simply due to the fact of to this lack of guidance to the buyer, it is incredibly unlikely for an applicant to know ahead of time if they need to satisfy a lender’s credit score scoring situations. So right here is the benefit of searching for a zero cost credit report from the beginning, to see if this application would be accepted or rejected. But does these a report from, say, Equifax or Experian (undoubtedly the two very best recognized brand names) cover all the safety facets which folks may perhaps be demanding in these days of cybercrime?

Credit score scoring isn’t limited to loan businesses. Some other firms, like as insurance plan providers, cellphone organizations, landlords, recruiters, federal government sections and community authorities employ the identical techniques. Credit scoring also has a lot of overlap along with info mining, which utilizes a lot of equivalent knowledge. If trying to find an Equifax cost-free credit report never ever fail to consider that this has once more been noted onto your fiscal consumer profile.

So it’s from time to time useful to get out precisely what your credit score is, for a wide range of causes, and an Equifax cost-free credit score report that can support you make choices dependent on your financial standing, and could furthermore be in a position to offer you related services to support you later on as quickly as your credit profile is far more established. But are there no other expert services which will keep an eye on your credit score file for factors like tried accessibility to your identity or particular particulars?

We live in an age of levels of competition, and these days all providers of these kinds of providers, such as the Experian and Equifax zero cost credit report, must do properly to listen to what customers have been asking for. These involve a a lot much more energetic monitoring of what is going on in their credit score profile – particularly when have any alterations been crafted, and by whom? What are the exact details of these intrusions into our private information which could enable men and women we have never ever met to acquire out information and potentially an individual day use them to achieve entry to items and solutions in our private identify, in an attempt to an individual day steal our identification for their personal gain. Like attacks happen quite stealthily and quite swiftly, and the damage is broad ranging, typically taking months to absolutely clear up. Will the chief support suppliers give you peace of thoughts when anything like this comes about?
