This is just an argument that the new ads run by credit reporting agencies are garbage.
Two recent ads run by the free credit report internet sites seem to me to be distasteful garbage. This is some type of service that allows people to check there credit online.

First, as it may be an underlying reason for my contempt with the ads, is that I think it is ridiculous that people should need to, as individuals, confront and fight with huge organizations over the credit reporting which the huge organizations take responsibility of keeping track of.

I have read in the past that nearly a third or more people will have major errors in there credit reporting history. An article was written in a newspaper that told this information and suggested ways of checking up on one's credit score/record ect. I found it interesting that the fact that a third or half of people's credit reports would contain vast errors, and yet our great newspaper though that what was news wearthy was no why or who is to blame for the errors, but were instead quick to avoid any action in the problem and simply say that the individual people were to blame.

The adververtisers of this free credit reporting internet company start off right away .... by proporting that someone with a low rent car, who he, while singing reports to have due to not keeping track of his credit, the person sings about how one is too "lazy" if one does not keep track of the credit. ( i dont know of any other company which has had the gumph to say that if you don't use their product that you were lazy!)

A second article shows a man in a seafood restaunt working due to his credit identity being stolen, and due to his not using free credit reporting internet services... he is working in a pirate outfit. I just dont think this is funny.

This just is setting us up for the notion that our gorverment, or insurance companies, or (i dont know who else one would turn to) has no ability to regulate how our credit is structured. In my opinion this is a bit of briliant propaganda, offering a service, and at the same time spreading the news - This whole credit business, as corrupt, disfunctional, and inethical as it is, has someone to blame - you the consumer- the individual is to blame.

This is just a quick note of the author's opinion, and this is in taking the notion that the whole system of credit and loans, house, car loans, ect. is in concern and there should be arguement about the responsibilities of all parties. In this case, I point out that these advertisements, ment to be fun and witty are simply cruel and wrong.
