Credit union responds about its false information

Maybe they're reasonable; maybe not. Maybe they'll understand what they're doing; maybe not.

Wrong.

There are no scores there. You are No. 1 on this list. https://creditscoring.com/interaction/2026/01/19-myth-29.html

Please reply today. I'm calling now.

Hello Greg,

I understand you have spoken to our Vashon office and pointed this error out as well as sending this email. We did not intentionally make a false claim as we would not benefit from doing this, it was merely a typo and has been corrected.

Thank you for making us aware of this.

BEFORE
"Also, review your credit score annually for free."

AFTER
"Also, review your credit report annually for free."

AT THE TOP OF THE AnnualCreditReport.com HOME PAGE
"Free weekly online credit reports."

ANOTHER ARTICLE ON YOUR WEBSITE
"Your free credit report will NOT include your credit score although some of the credit bureaus will allow you to request that information."

YET ANOTHER

Your credit report contains a LOT of information and may include:

Previous legal addresses and phone numbers

Places of employment

Up to nine years of financial data including:

YOUR ATTORNEY GENERAL
"Under the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act and the state law RCW 19.182, consumer reporting agencies may keep correct and verifiable information in your file for seven years, and 10 years in the case of bankruptcy."

If you stop using the words credit and score, together, in that order, you won't have this problem. If you insist on using them, then link them to people who know what they are talking about (the people with the secret formula for instance), to substantiate your statement.

I am sick and tired of false information.

PLEASE help. We don't need a million people -- using their bank charters -- trying to save the world by needlessly restating things. You have made a mess. Put pressure on the authoritative sources.

What typographical error? Did your index finger slip off R and hit S? #falsity #WA #2601Z

Falsity remains.

@TheNCUA @FDICgov NCUA and FDIC, you are the respective regulators.https://t.co/y7iZTkWzdq https://t.co/duacT0MQh1

This is despicable. Please look into it. #Myth29 #MI #NY #2601Z https://t.co/s1Wrp5eJeS
