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

They have charged $12.95 a month out of my checking account for the past two months. I DON'T WANT A CREDIT REPORT SERVICE! Just looked into free credit report to see what was entailed, and all of the sudden they are taking out money every month. Don't need it..don't want it. How do we get rid of them?

I just noticed this charge on my account last night. I called the number above for freecreditreport.com [protected] and pressed 1 for cancellations. The girl on the phone tried very hard to sell me the credit monitoring just like some of the above posts.

I requested a refund and told them (1) I saw this charge on my account yesterday (2) I've never used the service and (3) I only viewed and printed my credit score once. They said they don't do refunds, so I asked to speak to a supervisor. I had to wait on hold for a few minutes, but when she returned she said her supervisor had refunded the charges and the refund should appear on my credit card within 7-10 days.

I also had an "account" with them. I was, however, able to cancel. I just called the telephone number that appeared on my creditcard they were charging every month. I was irritated by their services, though. You pay money per month to view your credit report, but when you logged in to view it, they wanted more money. I don't get it. All I got was an email once in a while stating who was running my credit report, not the actual credit report. What a scam...

WAS CHARGED (2) SEPERATE CHARGES OF $14.95 IN THE SAME MONTH FOR A SERVICE I HAVENT EVER HEARD OF. I CHECKED OUT FREE CREDIT REPORT.COM AND DID ENTER MY CC INFO SO THEY COULD VALIDATE THE ACCOUNT, I WAS ONLY SUPPOSED TO BE CHARGED $1.00 WHICH WAS IMMEDIATLEY RETURNED TO ME THE NEXT DAY. 3 WEEKS LATER, AND $30.00 MORE, IM PISSED. I DONT KNOW ABOUT YOU, BUT $30.00 BUCKS IS A LOT OF MONEY TO ME. I HAVE MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO CONTACT THEM TO NO AVAIL.

I just saw the I was charged $14.95 on my statement. Don't even know where and how I should have canceled the free trial. Now I have to call the bank to stop this charge. Anybody knows how else I can have this thing over with?

My story is a little different. I was using the service for awhile however, I called to have it cancelled months ago. I hadn't checked my credit cards bills until today and I noticed I was still being charged. I called [protected] to have the service cancelled. They cancelled the service and I requested a refund for the most recent month and back months. At first, the woman on the phone was reluctant to give me a refund however, I asked to have my last phone call pulled b/c I was confident I had cancelled the service. After waiting on hold a couple of minutes they refunded me for 5 months of service. I've learned my lesson!

These people withdrew 29.90 from my card without being authorized to do so... when i called to find out who they are or what it was for i was told when i viewed my "free credit report" i was automatically signed up for a recurring monthly charge. I tried to explain to these people that i never viewed my free credit report they said "oh well" we cant give you your money back because we dont have access to your credit card, funy they had access to with draw money but not to put it back. I had to cancel my card to avoid anymore unauthorized charges! Screw these people!

For the last 2 months we have been getting charged on our credit card for $12.00. I've been trying to find out if on or both of us knew anything about this charge we both had no clue. Tonight my wife looked up CIC Advantage and found out of all the complaints on this freecreditreport.com. Now I know where this is coming from. I'm sure I had no idea about this. Now I see what a scam this is. Inspite of the cute commericals on TV about this DON'T GET INVOLVED, unless you intend to pay for this service every month on your credit card. BE A WARE VERY AWARE. Another couple dupped.

I did not want a monthly credit report. I only wanted to inquire about a one time report on my credit. I did not authorize continual monthly reports with a charge to my credit card. Please stop the monthly credit reports immediately. Please debit my credit card account in the amount of $25.90 for the last two months (October and November, 2008)

This happened to me too. My husband and I checked our credit scores online a few months back. Since then, CIC Triple Advantage has been charging us for $14.95 twice per month (for me and my husband, I guess). We didn't know we signed up for any extra services. And like many people, we overlooked our credit card statements. I called my credit card company immediately and talked to the fraud department. The fraud department credited me all the charges. They issued me a new card so that CIC can never charge me again. So please try to contact your credit card company right away.

I just called and cancelled the "membership" that I NEVER signed up for, and the man tried telling me that I had to call back before the 4th every month to make sure I wasn't going to be charged! WTF? If this isn't a scam I don't know what is. . .THANK YOU VERY MUCH FREECREDITREPORT.COM! I used to sing that stupid song all the time, but now it sucks!
