Free Credit Report?

We all know the funny commercials with the catchy tunes, but did you know that what they are REALLY selling is a paid service? Sure, you can get a free credit report, but you will automatically be enrolled for their Triple Advantage credit monitoring service. If you don't cancel within 7 days, you'll be charged $14.95 a month.

Under Federal law, everyone has the right to receive a free copy of their credit report once every 12 months from each of the three nationwide consumer reporting companies. To request your free annual report, go to http://www.annualcreditreport.com/


And for some useless trivia - that singing guy in those commercials is French Canadian and lip syncs all of the songs!

  1. Tsk, tsk, tsk... this is bad advertisement that is. Trying to convince people it's free and then later on there is a catch and in the tune of almost $15. Quite very tricky. This information will do help a lot of people especially who have thoughts of signing up like me.
