This is why there's a law (specifically, the Fair Credit Reporting Act) that says they have to provide you this info for free on a regular basis.

"Annually" is not regular enough if you're working on credit repair and need access to housing and/or a car ASAP. Or, for example, someone — not naming names — leaked your information, and it's unclear if or when it'll be used to bomb your credit

I’ve heard this before, and maybe they shouldn’t be permitted to do so. But if you think they did something illegal in their normal operations, what’s the argument? If there isn’t a rule against something, then it’s permitted. Or at least it’s supposed to be in a free society.
-
I acknowledge that things that aren't illegal aren't illegal, but I'm not sure why that needs saying

Its just like those shitty "people search" web scraping sites that offer to remove your own data for a fee, though the data they have is often false if they have it at all. Except that banks completely trust them.
