Obama Lays Down the Law on Free Credit Report Ads
The original jingles for FreeCreditReport.com couldn't save the website from getting scrutinized by the law. The credit card reform bill signals a score of changes for the credit card industry and more, as demonstrated by the action taken against the scammy credit report site.
Notoriously, FreeCreditReport.com advertised its ironically named service through commercials that led consumers to believe credit reports ordered on the site were actually free.

Consumers have been playing by credit card companies' rules, and now the companies are going to have to play by the president's rules.
