It is ridiculous to assume you need to check a future spouses credit report! And the fact they claim it is free should be illegal! Locally, we have a commercial that airs regularly during the news that advertises "free" telephone service, the catch? It's only free for 3 months, then they charge you more than the average conventional company. I hate these types of commercials because the truly poor and uneducated may take them as real and will unknowingly put themselves in a bad financial situation.
