We reported first on how one of the biggest credit agencies, Experian, (who has to by LAW give you a FREE credit report), profited from confusion.

Then again, it took long to get Miss Cleo too. More and Photo from NY Times

This is not an isolated incident by any means.
I would say that at least half the ads for products would be bannned in England under trade description Act.
American capitalism sucks when it relies on the law to enforce contracts that are blatantly misleading
