Watch out! No credit report is free!

I logged on to freecreditreport.com to of course get a free copy of my credit report. When you sign up it offers a free credit monitoring service that is mandatory to sign up for (and give your credit card number for). I must not have read closely because I thought that in order to get the service you would have to renew it after 30 days. I was mistaken. Unless you call after 30 days to cancel service the company charges $12.95 a month for a bogus service.

CIC Triple Advantage sends emails to your account after any changes have been posted to your credit report. Ironically, even while I was paying for the service (without my knowledge) I still couldn't access the service. So I was being charged for a service I was not even being provided.

Furthermore, they only refund you up to two months. Luckily I caught it o month three. Please beware and aware!

When you call do not give them your full credit card number or ss # just give the last four digits of each.

OK, maybe I am stupid but I thought when it said "FREE" that it meant it would not cost you a cent to get!!! Well I was wrong and I just realized that I have "UNAUTHORIZED CHARGES" on my credit card for my husband and myself. I signed up for a "FREE" credit report only in November so ofcourse I just realized I have been charged my this CIC*triple advantage company twice since December.(5 months times 2= 10 x 12.00=120.00. I AM VERY VERY UPSET AND I CALLED THEY WOULD NOT REFUND ANYTHING TO ME AND STILL WOULD NOT TALK WITH ME UNTIL I GAVE THEM MY CREDIT CARD NUMBER AND HE WOULD ONLY GIVE ME HIS FIRST NAME "ED". HE DID TELL ME I COULD SEND A LETTER REQUEST TO CUNSUMER RELATIONS GROUP PO BOX 19729 IRVINE CA 92623-9729 BUT WHAT GOOD THIS WILL DO WE WILL SEE. IF ANYONE ELSE HAS ANY SUGGESTIONS PLEASE HELP!!! THIS COMPANY HAS RIPPED ME OFF AND I AM MAD. I FEEL TOTATLY VIOLATED!!!

This is exactly what I thought I read, now it is a 7 day period and it is in bigger print on the front page, but they still sucker you in with the big print "Get Your Free Credit Report Now" and their catchy jingle on tv leading you to believe this is a free service. I guess the saying nothing is for free is right on the dot. I tried to call to cancel it after the first charge was made, which was only a couple of days ago and the man said he suggest I wait until July 2nd so I could get the use out of my money, he told me it was too early to cancel it. I said so it's too early to cancel it? So if I call back July 2nd I can cancel? He tried explaining to me all the services I could get at half price, I tried to explain to him that I did not want or need this service and that I had just wanted to check my credit so that me and my fiance could possibly get a special move-in price for our apartment if both our credits were okay. He insisted that I use the service until July 2nd. I just want to cancel it, I have a baby on the way and don't need to be charged for any services I am not going to use.

I checked in on my online bank account and found that $14.95 had promptly been taken out of my account for a company called, CIC*TRIPLE ADVANTAGE 877-481682. I DID NOT authroise this transaction. It is a company that apparantly deals with credit reports. I did not order any credit report. This happened today July 11, 2008 and the only thing I can figure out was that I had trouble with the pc hanging up today and had to reboot several times. I did do an update on real player, but I have done this several time before. I couldn't "x" off any pages and had to manually turn off the pc. Then tonight when I check my bank account...there it iwas, CIC*TRIPLE ADVANTAGE 877-481682 -$14.92 from my balance. I will call the bank in the morning and make it known that it was not an authorized transaction. People! Beware!...Scammers are hiding everywhere.

I was charged $14.95 though i was told that it was 100% free! The name must deserve what they do! Shame on you!

Signed up for service I never received and did not want or need!

CIC is billing me monthly for a service I do not use, do not need and can't seem to stop! I want to cancel but I don' find an address where this I can do, maybe I can do here. I would like to get my money back!

I don't want to pay monthly 31, 95 US$ for nothing!


Thank you for your Answer

They are still active; this kind of ripoff should be stopped, it's dishonest and completely without integrity and ethics. And these are the people that provide credit reports, there is a much more worrying problem here. This is supposed to be a responsible agency and they are acting like thieves.
