I wanted to share my experience about using freecreditreport.com with the community of people who read this blog.
I registered at above mentioned site to obtain a «free» (as they claimed) credit report. They required a credit card (stating that it’s required to get a credit score which is a total BS). I really got the credit score as promised, BUT… After that I was enrolled in monthly recurring payments. They charged 14.95 each month during two months. And it wasn’t obvious before the second charge got through (first month I though — okay, that’s what I would pay to get my credit report. Doesn’t matter that they have lied about «free» service). Then I made a research on the internet and it turned out that thousands of people were fooled this way. Freecreditreport.com is a scam! I just had to call the customer service and cancel the «membership» (which I haven’t requested in the first place). They don’t give any refunds for previous months. And I didn’t want to go ahead and make a claim with my bank because it’s a whole different pessimistic story I already went through about a month ago. :(

 

I have just watched this video and I have to say that I’m touched. This is Steve Job’s speech addressed to Stanford University alumni. This is a short introductory into his biography. His third story made me feel better about myself because this philosophy is somewhat I stick to in my life and I though that it was kind of strange thing to do, esp. in my age.

I finally found some time to update WordPress (which I’m using to run this blog) to the latest version. It seems like the design of the admin interface has changed. I haven’t decided if I like it or not yet. Although, I can already see a small glitch while writing this post — «Write Post» text is cropped. And I’m too lazy to post a bug about it. Overall, design seems to be «lighter» and more attractive.
