CIC*Credit Monitoring involuntarily signed up on a "free" credit report retrieval Internet

I went to my bank personally and requested that these charges be removed from my account. The bank personnel told me to fill out a form and they would investigate. I was just contacted by my bank and they're telling me they will not reverse the charges. (I've been with my credit union for over 8 years!). I called CIC back and told them I wanted the charges reversed and they too, refused. They told me that I will "not be charged for any more activity" but the current charges will remain. They claim that I "looked at my report" and therefore it warrants the $9.95 charge.. For a free credit report? How can companies get away with this? I am beyond furious!! Nothing would make me happier than to see freecreditreport.com shut down for good.

Whenever you entered your card information to process the authorization for the credit report, I'm almost certain that at the bottom of the form, a box was checked to subscribe to a free trial for CIC triple advantage or CIC credit monitoring. If you didn't cancel the subscription within 30 days, they would begin billing you. If you want the phone #, call 1-877-481-6826. Speak to a representative or a supervisor and tell them to cancel the subscription and remove your card # from their database. If they continue to bill you, file a fraud dispute through your bank or credit card company and have them reissue a card with a new #. Hope this helps.
