On 9/10/09 I tried to get a free credit score from experian... I wanted to get my free credit report and learn my credit score at the same time because I needed to pay off some old bills and wanted to look for a new apartment - I wanted to make sure nothing crazy popped up.
Well... instead I was duped into paying $1.00 as a service charge which WOULD BE REFUNDED in order to get my FREE credit score.
Since then they DID charge me the $1.00 - TWICE! In addition, I have been charged $29.95 several times for unauthorized charges!
It is annoying that by trying to do the right thing in checking on my credit, I have fraudulently been duped into giving away my credit info!!!
This is scary, especially since there is obviously NO DIRECT LINE to talking to a human.
Ugh!
