FreeCreditReport.com
I've been getting these weird phone calls from an automated voice telling me my credit was not good enough to buy a house. The weirdest part is....I'm not trying to buy a house! I'm sure I just got put on some dumb list, but since it has been going on for three weeks I started to get a little freaked out. My mom recommended I check my credit score. My first reaction...Free Credit Report.com. I really like those commercials, but have never really thought of it because I had no reason to check my credit score. Well now I did, and because I was so familiar with the product from the commercials I did not even think of looking anywhere else to find my credit score. It was actually really easy to use. My only worry now is that I'm going to get junk mail for the rest of my life from them but so far so good. The best part is my credit is fine and those people haven't called me, at least not yet today :) It just really made me think of how successful those commercials have been, and how at least in my case, the commercials did exactly what they intended to do.

This blog is very interesting which alos give me the knowledge of how to check my credit score. Very useful!!
Those commercials are very catchy too! That would probably be my first place I would think to go if I needed to check my credit. Those commercials are obviously very effective!
I sing that song for hours after hearing it! It's annoying but very effective. Advertisers should never underestimate the power of a good jingle!
If I had been told to check my credit score, I would have totally gone to freecreditreport.com, the songs are so catchy, i find myself singing them when the commercial comes on.
Kelli, do be really careful though, because even though it is free right now, freecreditreport.com swindles you because if you don't unsubscribe they auto charge you for a subscription. The catch is they don't tell you this anywhere, and they don't have any easy way to do it, I would recommend trying to unsubscribe as soon as possible, because that is how they make money, its sneaky. Google how to, because you wont find it on the website.
