i attempted to obtain a free annual credit report from the XXXX reporting services via the website : XXXX. No problem with XXXX. XXXX required a written application be mailed to them and Transunion steered me to a new page or website where I was not allowed to proceed without subscribing to a service which required me to pay an initial fee of {$1.00} for the report ( {$0.00} for my " score '' ) and further agreeing to and paying a recurring charge of approximately {$18.00}. It is my belief that I am entitled under the law to a FREE credit report. why is TransUnion being permitted to violate the law with this deceptive practice? Please remedy this violation and require them to send me a free credit report as soon as possible.
