""I read on, it said my card would not be charged it was just used for identity purposes only. "" This is NOT what they're website states. Hardly! You were notified TWICE that it was a trial period and that if you didn't cancel your membership your account would be charged. They have had the following notices on their website for a year that I know of: ''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 Advantage SM 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. I do find it amusing that the clowns at freecreditreport.com don't seem to know if it is a 7 (seven) day or 9 (nine) day free trial. Perhaps someone should point this out to them.

The following information is on the first page of the company website. I find it amazing how many people claim they were ripped off. Think about it, why would three credit bureaus give you their credit reports or give you free credit monitoring. http://www.freecreditreport.com/ IMPORTANT INFORMATION When you order your free report here, you will begin your free trial membership in Triple AdvantageSM Credit Monitoring.
