How do you get a free credit report

I Have tried to get a free credit report for the last hour and cannot believe that the websites will just send you round in circles chasing your own tail. BUT hold on click on buy a credit report and suddenly the mist clears and it is as easy as can be.<br> We consumer's are entitled to one free report a year, so could the company's that offer free reports please stop being so ****ed greedy and trying to force people into buying what should be free
