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!

""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!"" From their HOME PAGE: ""IMPORTANT INFORMATION When you order your free report here, you will begin your free trial membership in Triple AdvantageSM Credit Monitoring. If you don't cancel your membership within the 7-day trial period**, you will be billed $14.95 for each month that you continue your membership. ConsumerInfo.com, Inc. and Freecreditreport.com are not affiliated with the annual free credit report program. Under a new Federal law, you have the right to receive a free copy of your credit report once every 12 months from each of the three nationwide consumer reporting companies. To request your free annual report under that law, you must go to www.annualcreditreport.com."" From the "Step 2" page where you enter your credit card information: ""Your credit card will not be charged during the free trial period. However, valid credit card information is required to establish your account."" Further down the page (about 2 inches on a 20 inch monitor) ""Payment Information When you order your free report here, you will begin your free trial membership in Triple AdvantageSM Credit Monitoring. If you don't cancel your membership within 9 days of enrollment, you will be billed $14.95 for each month that you continue your membership. If you are not satisfied, you can cancel at any time to discontinue the membership and stop the monthly billing; however, you will not be eligible for a pro-rated refund of your current month's paid membership fee."" You were not ripped off.

when you signed up for your "free" credit report, you also signed up for their service, which is why they wanted your cc number... Its on the website, clear as day.. You wanged annualcreditreport.com not the one you signed up for..
