Dear friends,

This is NOT a message forum where people go back and forth and snipe at each other.  

Because of the continued &quot;stupid-related&quot; series of messages, comments for this posting are closed.

Please keep comments relevant to the advertising/fine print issue raised, and avoid the name-calling that all too often characterizes online discussions.

Thanks.</description>

		<description>&quot;That’s why you hire a good insurance agent, lawyer or just plain learn to READ!!! Anything less is . . . 
well, STUPID!!!!!&quot;

If I spent the money to hire a lawyer to go over a 5500 word contract written in legal jargan, he&#039;d tell me
the contract was not worth it&#039;s salt but I&#039;d still be out about the same amount of money to pay his bill.  I
don&#039;t know of any insurance agents who are going to read this out, they would rather spend the time to sell 
their service.  

I&#039;m definitely not stupid, but if I had to sit down and try to slog my way through all that, I&#039;d probably fall
asleep and miss something, too.  These shisters purposely write these contracts with this in mind.  Either you
can&#039;t afford to have someone read and define it for you, don&#039;t have the time to read it yourself, or can&#039;t get
past the legal terms to really understand it.

That&#039;s not stupid and these people aren&#039;t stupid.  This is slick cunning and boarderline dishonest.</description>

		<description>They&#039;re not actually a company that&#039;s supposed to be watching and reporting consumer credit.  They&#039;re just a bunch of opportunists who saw a chance to make a quick buck by pretending to be something they&#039;re not.  

Your actual free credit report comes from annualcreditreport.com, not from the scammers at &quot;free&quot; credit report.  (Though note that even the ostensibly legitimate agencies behind annualcreditreport.com would love to con you into paying for something they&#039;re legally obligated to give you for free.)</description>

		<description>&quot;It’s not coverage for stupid people. It’s coverage for people who aren’t aware of how deceptive it is. People shouldn’t have to go over offers with a fine-toothed comb to figure out whether they’re on the level or not.&quot;

I don&#039;t think you should really base PURCHASING an insurance policy like this based soley on a &quot;deceptive&quot; advertisment.  It is the consumer&#039;s responsibility to know what they are signing up for when they sign on the dotted line.  If that requires going &quot;over offers with a fine-toothed comb&quot;, then that&#039;s what it requires.  That&#039;s why you hire a good insurance agent, lawyer or just plain learn to READ!!!  Anything less is . . . well, STUPID!!!!!

PEACE OUT!

		<description>&quot;Suggesting that this is an offer for stupid people suggests that the people are at fault for this, rather than the company that’s advertising deceptively. And the company in this case is known for deceptive advertising.&quot;

The scary thing here, is that this is a company that is supposed to be watching and reporting consumer credit.   

If one of the credit bureaus has a reputation for being deceptive.......  There just aren&#039;t words for the rest of that statement.</description>
