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,
