Question
Has anyone here started getting charged by cic triple advantage after getting your "free" credit report?
I got my free credit report from freecreditreport.com and then these $14 charges started showing up on my credit card. Low and behold, it's freecreditreport.com. What's up with that? Did you have any trouble getting your money back?

Yes, you clicked on it and agreed to the enrollment. I did the same thing when I was pulling up my credit report and it didn't bother me to agree because I was going to call and just cancel within the thirty day period.. Just call the number and have them cancel it, but be sure they do. Even after I had canceled the account, they charged me the next month. The Triple Advantage membership allows you to check your credit report online and emails you of any changes in your report.

I believe in the fine print it probably said that the credit report was free with enrollment in Triple Advantage. There are actually three credit reporting agencies that really do give you a free credit report once a year--you don't get a credit score, but you get a listing of your creditors, any blemishes on your record, etc. I believe one is called Experian and one is Equifax. I don't remember the third. Sorry that happened to you. I would think if you called and canceled, they would have to stop charging you. I don't know how likely it is you will get your money back for previous charges, though.

Next year go to www.annualcreditreport.com. Sounds like you got enrolled in their credit monitoring program. You'll have to call and cancel it, but you won't get your money back, since you "enrolled", even unwillingly, while getting your credit reports.

Now you can check your credit at any time. It seems like a waste to me at that price. You probably aren't getting your money back, so cancel it so next month you won't be charged.
