Product Review: Free Credit Report

First of all, the place to go for your free credit report is here. Every 12 months you can find out your credit score. For free.

This is not to be confused with the catchy (or annoying, depending on who you ask) commercials on TV for FreeCreditReport.com. If you get you get your credit report there, you eventually get charged for it. As in, no longer free.

In theory, you have 30 days or something to cancel whatever it is they're selling. But lots of people have gotten scammed by this company by forgetting to cancel the membership...myself included. (That was what taught me never to sign up for something "free" with the plan to cancel it before the trial period ended...because odds are, I would forget. Lesson learned.)

However, my irritation toward that company and their product has not stopped me from thoroughly enjoying their musical commercials. You know the ones - with the guy and the guitar and the catchy (or annoying) tunes about his dream girl or his new car or his job in a restaurant dressed as a pirate. You can see the videos here:

Singing Pirates
Dream Girl
New Car
Bicycle

What do you think of these commercials? Funny? Catchy? Annoying? Too sarcastic? Just sarcastic enough?
