This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

Since february, of 2011 score sense has charged my credit card $29.95 monthly for a service of monitoring my credit cards against fraudulent activiity. I have never contracted for this service, and do not recognize this company. The credit card involved is discover card and filing a complaint against score sense's charges with discover card resulted in their launching an investigation of these charges. I have since received a letter from discover card that I am indeed responsible for these charges and they will not acknowledge that I never did subscribe for services with score sense. Given this from discover card, I am forced to close my account with them to prevent these monthly charges continuing ad infinitum.

Score sense appears to have my e mail address, home address, and obviously my discover card number. How this occurred is baffling to me and I can only conjecture that I am the victim of some form of computer fraud.

I plan to file a police report and also a complaint with the federal government, the office of the comptroller of currency.

If you recently or in the past went to look for your credit scores unfortunately when you put your card number in and clicked submit that authorized Scoresense to charge your card until you cancelled. I know you think I am from Scoresense but I actually work with a call center handling credit card disputes. Yes it feels like fraud or a scam but whenever you give any merchant your card number whether for $1 or free that gives them the okay to charge whatever amount their monthly charge is until you cancel after whatever time frame they have. It is best that you read the fine print and all over the screen before submitting. All it takes is calling them and letting them know you would like to cancel and ask for a refund. If they don't want to refund then check with your bank to see if they can be disputed but they are not fraud if YOU gave your card number for the information. It doesn't have to be difficult and you don't have to be nasty especially to the representatives with your bank when they are trying to help you.

Thank you,
A representative with a credit card company

I too am a victim of scoresense. I never signed up for this service. I unfortunately do no check my credit card statement each month. After about 6 months I checked my statement and found a charge for $29.95 and after checking further it was on at least 6 statements. I contacted scoresense about this, their name and phone number were on my statement. This was the wrong thing to do. This is what they want you to do. They told me I could not receive any information about the account unless I provided them with my email address, my name and phone number.. When I did this they said they had an account opened in my name and I should check it to make sure someone hadn't used their service to get my information and opened up credit cards in my name or obtained any loans. I stupidly did what they suggested and they used this against me. They took all the information they had asked me to prove to Visa that I had opened up the account and had used the service. Visa sent me a letter stating I had opened the account and would have to pay the charges. When I had first called Visa I told them that Scoresense had asked me for information to prove my identity before they would give me any information about the charges but that didn't matter and it did not matter that scoresense had hundreds of complaints against them online for ripping off other people of their money. They believed scoresense because they knew my email address and home address.

We have had the same experience with unauthorized use of our credit card by ScoreSence.com. We have discovered that they have been charging or credit card for the last 11 months or $29.95 per month. When the contacted them to complain about these unscrupulous business practices we received the following from customer service authorizing 5 of the 11 charges, Not Approving 7 of the unauthorized charges totaling $209.65. In addition we have made several formal request "we respectfully request that you provide a written copy of any correspondence and/or contract in which we have authorized your company to withdrawal these funds from our account and/or any and all correspondence in which your company has advised that we have a formal agreement in which fees would be charged as well as a data log demonstrating that we have ever used your service during this time frame outlined below in your statement" which they have not provided.
Below is ScoreSense response to our request for a full refund.

I would like you to delete my account. I sign up for $1.00 and a week later I was charged 29.95, I have been getting money off my card for a couple of months now. I would like my money back that they took. I asked them to stop taking money from my card and I was charged again today. This needs to stop

DO NOT access this Agency. I, too paid $1.00 for credit scores. Next two months, $29.95 was taken out of my bank acct. via debit card. I am a widow & run close in my checking acct. One month, it caused me to be overdrawn in my acct. & was charged an additional $30.00 for overdraft. This may not sound like a lot but when u r on SS only, every penny counts! Shame on OTL Scoresense. They should be prosecuted for fraudulence & false advertising!

I signed up to get my credit scores for $1 and after a week they charged me $29.95. I called immediately to ask for my money back and war told by the CSR that she would submit a request. She offered to give me an extra 30 days for a total of 60 days access free of charge. When I got off the phone I had recd an email telling me that the billing would resume after the 60 days. I was livid and called back and made it clear I was canceling and did not want access for a minute longer. The gentleman assured me that a request for a refund had put through and I would hear in a day or two. The next day I recd an email flat out denying a refund stating the trial period had passed. I have never encountered a credit protection agency that won't at least pro rate your refund. I will never use score sense again and if they charge me again i will sue. I didn't have $30 to piss away and am astounded at the games this agency plays. Consider yourself warned!
