I don’t know if I’m on some kind of a defensive design spree or what, but I noticed another online gem last night. You can find it at Equifax, on the bottom of the user profile screen:

How many negatives can you spot? If I choose to opt out… what happens again? So much for clear wording. Shouts to Equifax Business Prevention Department, aka lawyers.

Also, it cracks me up that you can buy someone a credit report as a gift. That would make a great wedding anniversary gift, eh? :)
