When I checked my credit a couple of weeks ago, I recall something to the effect that when you have been hit with a ID theft (as Zap was) that you are eligible to get free reports once per quarter.

Anyone know if that is the proper site? I'm not just typing my SS# into any ole web site.

I used that site recently to get my reports. Probably took me about 15 minutes to get all three - mainly because of the security steps.
