Every morning before I leave for work, I go to my bank's web-site to see what checks had cleared the bank. This morning I noticed an entry that I was sure neither my husband nor myself had charged - Purchase Cic*credit Monit877-513-4175ca.
I decided to check up on the phone number in Google. This web-site plus many others came up. My shock turned into fury when I read about all the people who had also been ripped off.
I remember my husband had applied for a "Free" Credit report over a year ago, but had cancelled the service a month later after seeing all the so-called report contained was "Nothing to report". We were in the process of buying a home at the time and he wanted to see if there was anything that needed cleaning up before the mortgage company pulled their own report.
I called my bank's 800 number and told the woman that an unauthorized withdrawal had been made on my check card. I gave her all the details that I had and was promised that a reversal would be made with-in 3 to 10 days.
I will be calling CIC next week to let them know what steps I have taken. I will up-date when my account has been credited. I'm just glad I was able to find this web-site so I could act quickly to get my money back.
