Experian and XXXX have apparently been running a scam for more than a year to purposely make it difficult and add costs to obtain our annual credit reports via " XXXX ''. XXXX fills in our private information including social security number and then XXXX is asked to select among which XXXX one wants out of Experian, XXXX or all XXXX. Once selection ( s ) are mad and private information is submitted Experian and XXXX come back with notices about not being able to provide our credit reports via the Internet or that there is a condition preventing delivery over Internet. Then they provide instructions to physically mail one 's very sensitive and private information at our expense to their mailing addresses and hope that we our credit reports in the mail which is a popular method for thieves to obtain information for identity theft AND an exceedingly less secure method than an encrypted communication session directly to our computing devices. This has happened before on other attempts and I believe that this a purposeful act on the part of these credit collecting and reporting companies to discourage transparency of what they do, to interfere with the rights of American consumers, and to force us to pay for our credit reports which should be free not just annually due to the grave impact errors on credit reports on American 's lives. There are no valid technical or monetary excuses as to why these XXXX monopolistic companies can get away with this scam and the XXXX government needs to penalize them heavily for doing this to American consumers and taxpayers on an ongoing basis and make our credit reports fully available again on XXXX '' immediately.
