The more I read about what they do over there, the more I realize America hasn't changed as much as it would like to think it did when it broke "free" from England.
a. We get the "free month" with these credit reporting agencies and we also get a FREE LOOK at all 3 credit reporting agencies once per year. Period. No agency needed.
b. Every time ANYONE looks at your credit, for any reason, your rating goes down as well. So, ironically, if you look at your own rating, you make it go down. How about that for fucked up?
c. Albeit, not using the same corney, implausible pitch; they try to sell you needless services and products 24-7 over here. Advertise on the radio, television, magazines, bulletin boards, Boards along side the highways, etc. so forth.
It seems no matter where you live, there are predators that count on the overwhelming fear and stupidity of the consumer. Sad, but oh so very true.
Actually, we caught it from you guys. Until the 1960s we didn't have commercial television and commercial radio didn't arrive until the 70s (not legally, anyway).

Soooo...
coming up on another birthday...
Taurus.
April 30th. LOL. You're 7 years my senior. Which would make you...46 this year. What are the plans?
My hubby is 3 years, 3 months my senior. For 3 months every year he's 4 years my senior.
I bring this up because your birthday is about to become a special date in my life. The date I get my right of way back and have the ability to straighten out my ever so ugly credit. Good segue?
Age, like most everything is relative. This credit bullshit absolutely sucks. Sometimes I wish the whole thing would have crashed and we would have to go back to the barter and honor systems.

Plans? Who told you about the plans? I mean, uh, what plans, there are no plans. And even if there were, which there aren't, there's no way I'd tell you what they were. Plans for global domination are too easily foiled! Um, I mean, if there were any such plans, which there aren't!
So, a major victory for truth, justice and the right of way? Did you get a United Nations resolution, or just declare war and go in with all guns blazing?
I agree, age is relative, especially the relative ages of ageing relatives!
But yes... If you're 15 and going out with a 12 year old, you're a cradle snatcher. If you're 40 and going out with a 20 year old, you're a sugar mummy or daddy. If you're 90 and going out with a 60 year old, no-one bats an eyelid!
The Indian moon mission allegedly discovered "vast quantities of ice", mixed with hydrocarbons and other substances, by using radar analysis of the Regolith. Not by dropping something onto it, no!
There are still three problems with this:
1) It was done by India. A country with such a high technology level that 90% of their population live in conditions that you wouldn't want your worst enemy's food animals to live in!
2) Radar analysis can be deceptive. They analysed the reflected radiation and checked the absorption spectra to see what was there. We assume it's ice because the spectrum matches the absorption spectrum of ice, but it could just as easily be something else with the same spectrum.
3) Even if it is true and they did find ice, (And this is the killer), they found it at the Lunar north pole. NOT in the sea of tranquillity. THERE IS NO ICE IN THE SEA OF TRANQUILLITY!
