Freecreditreport.com is a Scam!

I’m sure you guys have maybe heard about this before but DO NOT create an account with Freecreditreport.com (note that I’m not even linking to them).


They will essentially put a recurring $12.95 charge on your credit card bill without notification. (see below)


I had a nice chat with a rep earlier. . .


Me: I’d like to cancel my account.
Rep: Why?
Me: I’m using another credit reporting site (true) and it’s free (true true)
Rep: Well does it have blah blah blah…
Me: Please cancel my account now.
Rep: But does it have this feature–
Me: Uhm, PLEASE cancel my account right now.
Rep: Ok ok, miss, you’ll receive an email shortly and it has been removed from your credit card statement.


Totally not my style, but it’s good to stand up for yourself once in a while :)


Call the toll-free number (1-877-481-6825) immediately if you notice a charge like this on your bill:
