Dueling Credit Report Services Videos

Monday March 16, 2009

If you have a television, then you've probably seen the free credit report videos. They're wildly popular, and I even know teenagers that use the jingles for their ring tones. I guess you could say it's something of a pop culture phenom.

You'll end up paying some monthly fee if you use those. The only truly free credit report comes from www.annualcreditreport.com.

In an effort to help spread the word, AnnualCreditReport.com has a new series of videos to help debunk those you are already seeing on tv. Let the video duel begin.
