     To the FTC, RE FACTA Free File Disclosures Proposed Rule, Matter No. R411005

     Please support faster free credit reports

     I urge you to make annual free credit reports available more quickly to all Americans, rather than delaying

     access to most of the country at the unjustified request of the credit bureaus.

    

     Also, the rule should make clear that information is only collected to verify identity. Many consumers, including

     me, don't think it is fair to give up personal information to take advantage of an important new federal right to a

     free credit report.

    

     I recently discovered an incorrect item on my credit report that almost prevented me from receiving a

     mortgage.  Access to your  credit report can be crucial for maintaining good credit as well as identifying

     potential identity theft problems.
