Letters: Whiny Olympians and not-so-free credit reports

Fill-in host Jeremy Hobson and Money senior producer Paddy Hirsch dip into the mail bag. Listeners had a lot to say about our interview with Olympic high jumper Jamie Nieto, namely that he sounded a bit… whiny. Linnea Linton of Arden North Carolina said he could do with a good dose of gratitude and humility.

Many listners pointed out that FreeCreditReports.com does not give free credit reports. Take a listen to the audio above to get the real facts about free credit reports!
