i’m interested.
did the report the client bandied about come from the government’s ‘free credit report dot com’?
if so are the tax dollars going toward this ‘resource’ accurately reflecting someone’s credit?
The government has nothing to do with that site.

The government site is AnnualCreditReport.com . It is just a site which passes on the information to any of Equifax, Experian or TransUnion which then sends you the report. Their reports don't include the credit score unless you pay for it to be added to your free report.
freecreditreport.com belongs to one of the three main report agencies (I forget which). The report is only free if you sign up for some subscription from them, which means it isn't really free.
