I wanted a "free" credit report and went to experian direct.com and did not read the fine print that connects a $14.95 monitoring fee after a very brief trial period.  I only realized this when I saw my American Express bill and disputed the fee.  The fee was already being charged for the next month too!



I called them at 866-431-3471 and they tried to get me to buy at a lower rate calling it "Christmas" reduction but after five times of saying "I just want to cancel" the lady finally cancelled it for me.  Whew!  Not easy.  I asked for a cancellation code and she told me they didn't have one but she did give me her agent ID # so I wrote that down.  She told me there would be an email coming to verify the cancellation.



This is outrageous and misleading for a consumer.  When I first went online about a month ago, this link appeared near the top so as an unsuspecting consumer I went there.  The only true "FREE" report is by annualcreditreport.com sponsored by the government and now it appears at the top of Google links.  Thank goodness!
