  5. There are no personal credit reports offered online that are easy to order and provide all the information you need. Even the free reports offered on the new federally mandated website (sponsored by the three national credit reporting agencies) are a lot less useful than they could be. Reasons Free Online Credit Reports Stink •The authentication process. The process is so cumbersome, time-consuming, and frustrating—any person who values their time would quickly abandon the process. •The security questions are a pain. To answer your questions you must have: (1) all your credit statements in front of you; (2) all your previous addresses in front of you; or (3) a recent copy of your credit reports handy. •The information is created for lenders, not consumers—which means there is critical information that you're NOT SEEING. These reports don't include complete account numbers or all your credit inquiries, among other things. •You have to navigate through numerous sales pitches for products and services you don't need. •Just one free online credit report can total more than 50 pages. Even though federal law now says the credit reporting agencies must provide credit reports free, it says nothing about making them comprehensive or easy to get. The credit reporting agencies are now using these free credit reports as bait to quickly switch you into purchasing overpriced, and often useless credit services. Your best bet is to order by mail.
