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.
Please quit badmouthing my business. Freecreditreport.com is a great value, providing free credit reports over the internets for free, and at no cost.
I’m sure they are all like that. Probably had the fee hidden in some tiny print somewhere and you missed it. They probably give you your report, but then you have to call and cancel the subscription right away.
P.S. The first 2 replies on the post are clearly spam. You probably should get rid of them.
