Congress passed a law to make our credit reports available for free. And of course, the only way to implement anything anymore is through private enterprise. The reports are free, I think they charged you for a "credit watch", to monitor whether your identity has been stolen and send you other alert emails. I've noticed that online companies are starting to make you cancel services, instead of getting you to buy into something later.
