Luckily, I check my bank accounts everyday, for this exact reason. I found 2 pending charges on my credit card, one of which was from "CIC*CE CREDIT REPORT". When I called my bank to inquire, I was told it was Experian and given a phone number to call. I called, but they weren't open. I'm beyond ticked off about this! When I want to look at Experian or Transunion, I order from freecreditreport.com. I do NOT pay for anything, as I don't need to. The only one I actually go to is Equifax, because we get to look at for free, along with other benefits, through work once a year.
I did a search for the name that was reported on my crdit card and came across this site. I have neither patience or time to deal with being pushed around for something like this, so I have already contacted my bank again. Since the charge is pending, I have to wait to see if it goes through or drops off. It could take up to 5 days to drop off.
I'm beyond ticked about this. I do not make a lot of money at work and am also taking classes part-time. No matter how small the charge is, I don't have money just sitting around to pay this thing. Every penny I earn is accounted for and disbursed elsewhere. At least I have a bank that I know will take care of me.
Note to people: keep up with your bank accounts!
