     To the FTC, RE FACTA Free File Disclosures Proposed Rule, Matter No. R411005

     Faster free reports, with a privacy guarantee

     To the FTC:

    

     I urge you to make annual free credit reports available more quickly to all Americans, rather than delaying

     access to most of the country at the unjustified request of the credit bureaus.

    

     I just spent 9 months and over 217 hours of my time "fixing" an error that never occurred whic was reported on

     my credit. It is a nightmare for consumers since I was exposed to identity theft because the holder of my

     mortgage failed to send my financial file by certified mail.

    

     Also, the rule should make clear that information is only collected to verify identity. Many consumers, including

     me, don't think it is fair to give up personal information to take advantage of an important new federal right to a

     free credit report.

    

     Sincerely,

            Sheri Smith
