CIC Triple Advantage unauthorized use of my credit card, month after month Internet
I went to freecreditreport.com to receive a free credit report, as advertised. The web site requested a credit card number, but stated it would Not be charged. I just found out that the "free credit report" wasn't "free" at all, and that CIC Triple Advantage has been charging me monthly fees for services not rendered. I want my money back and this company charged by the federal law and prosecuted!
