Experian
They can't make a living unless they scam. It must be that the free credit report they offer is just to suck you in. Once you accept the terms you find you have been sucked into a plan at $19.95 pe

I went looking for the free credit report all consumers are supposed to be able to get once a year. I recognized the Experian name, so I entered their site. It was after seeing the heading "FREE CREDIT REPORT" that I saw that it would actually cost me $1. OK, that was fine. Even though it said "free" I didn't mind paying for the electronic ZAP time. I accepted the terms and conditions, which looked pretty standard. But they aren't. Somewhere in there they (say) they tell you that you are really signing up for a service which will cost you $19.95 per month. I'm sure I declined any such offer if it were made overtly. Still, I was billed for a month. When I got my credit card statement, Experian claimed it was too late to refund as a month had gone by. Maybe they are trying to prove their point that someone needs to monitor the bad guys. I just didn't expect the bad guys to be THEM!!
