free annual credit report question.

I've tried to connect to annualcreditreport.com, the official site, for a few months now and it ain't working. So does anyone know what the deal is? isn't it legally mandatory for this to be available?

I did that, but it goes "Not found" when I try to click on anything inside. I'm on a wlan, could security issues have something to do with it?

Library should help you out. If that doesnt work, go: start->programs->accessories->communication-> and check if you see a program called remote desktop connection.

If you have the program, I can email you my university account info to log onto their network and get the info you need.

1)are you not getting the webpage (404 type of error)
2)or is the site just not letting you procede with getting your free annual credit report.

if its (1) check and see if your internet provider is the same as your libraries. If it is, you need to call their help desk. Ask for a teckie and tell them that they have a problem with that particular webpage. It's happened to me where i couldnt get one particular site and they fixed that up in like a matter of hours.

if its (2), you are going to have to mail their webmaster.

It's # one, the library's provider is different from mine too.

The page cannot be found
The page you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.

I'll email my isp and see if they can solve it.

A-HA, try this:
http://www.anonymousinet.com/
Its an anonymous proxy server. It should get the site for you.

edit: Arg, not so much. Secure web servers dont much like anonymizers. Still trying on this end.

:devilish: Couldn't I just sue the gov. I mean come on even on a public library I can't access it and free access is legally mandatory, no?
