I was charged recently for 14.95 by CIC*TRIPLE ADVANTAGE 877-481-6825 FREECREDITREPORT.com. After a great deal of time, frustration and demanding a refund, the call center agreed to give me a refund and cancelled my membership. Having had this experience and hopefully being the wiser for it; I found out the only FREE credit report is the website annualcreditreport.com.
I made a big mistake and hope to spread the news of what NOT to do...
I found this on the federal trade commissions website. "The FTC has received complaints from consumers who thought they were ordering their free annual credit report online. Some consumers responded to TV ads, email offers, or simply searched online. The FTC recently settled a lawsuit against Consumerinfo.com which did business as Experian Consumer Direct over the free credit report promotion it advertised on television, radio and the Internet, including its websites FREECREDITREPORT.com and CONSUMERINFO.com. If you ordered a free credit report from Consumerinfo between November 1 and September 15, and were enrolled in its credit monitoring program, you may be eligible for a refund under the FTC's settlement."
