This is now the third time in the past year that either my husband or myself has n't been able to get our free annual credit report on-line. This time, it was the Equifax report -- their web site says " We 're sorry, for your protection we are unable to deliver an Equifax Free Annual Credit Report over the Internet '' and I have to do it by postal mail. That 's a huge amount of additional work, plus some expense -- and there 's no explanation what-so-ever of why I could n't get it online. Each time we 've gotten that message in the past, once we finally got the report, we checked it carefully, and found no errors which might explain why the on-line request failed. So now I 'm told I have to go through that process all over again to get my report. There should be some way to find out why the on-line request is failing, so it can be fixed. ( I 'm beginning to wonder if they make it fail, so they do n't need to supply the report at all -- I 'm sure thatmany people, when faced with what needs to be done to get it mailed, just give up. )
