real estate: Caruso's Credit Report Update! - 04/29/10 06:38 AM

 Companies that offered free credit reports appear to be skirting a new federal disclosure requirement designed to crack down on misleading advertising.
Under the requirement, companies that advertise free credit reports in connection with the sale of credit monitoring or other products must prominently disclose that consumers can get a truly free credit report from the government-authorized Web site annual creditreport.com.
A limited disclosure requirement for all media started in February. A final, more explicit disclosure requirement took effect Friday for print, direct mail, telemarketing and Web advertising. The final rule for TV and radio ads applies Sept. 1.
