I created a login to get my free credit score and each time I went to login to get the information it stated that the username/password were incorrect. And the worst part is that you can send them an email to get things fixed.

It's owned by Experian (it used to be sketchy prior to that). I trust it now.

I registered this site on May 2015. A lot may have changed since the last review of this site. But as of right now, I did not have to register to view my credit report for Experian. However, if you request your FICO score, or credit reports from the other Bureaus Equifax and Transunion, that will cost. The Experian alone, is in fact free. For me at least. Not a scam.
Helpful
This site is run by Experian, one of the three major credit bureaus in the US. I have been using ***** for over a year now and they have been nothing but a breeze to work with. The price is fair and the credit tracking you get is top notch. Whoever reported this website as untrustworthy either never used it personally or rated an extremely old and outdated version of the website.

NO, this is not actually "free"

site is not free. there is a charge for services rendered after the free trial expires but the company is legit and payments are secure.

I have been trying to cancel for months. They require you to cancel over the phone, and cannot cancel over the internet.

Had them for years, they are accurate, and responsive. Good site!

This site isn't a scam. It's just a typical credit report site that follow other bureaus' credit reports. If you feel you were scammed, you completed their offer wrong or didn't understand their terms. RESEARCH before labling a site incorrectly.

I thought this site may be useless based on the millions of dollars they spend on their stupid advertisements. Thank you WOT community for protecting me and my family! You're the best.

I totally agree with Ginger1205. This site charges the user for credit information which can be obtained for free @ ***** I personally use the FREE website to get my credit reports from each of the 3 credit reporting agencies. Freecreditscoredotcom is a ripoff !!! Don't be suckered in to this site and wind up paying for credit information which can be obtained for free!

Bad customer service. I signed up for the free trial and cancelled within 3 days but they kept charging me. No response from customer service for weeks. This is a bait and switch. They'll bait you with a free trial and scam you out of money and beat around the bush so you can give up. However, I don't give up. File a complaint with your state's attorney general. BBB is not helpful. Attorney general gets results faster.

I signed up for this to get my 'free credit report' with the intention of cancelling after I downloaded my FREE report. I called them up to cancel after I got my report before the billing was supposed to start, and the person on the other line treated me like crap because I wanted to cancel. He kept saying I shouldn't cancel and trying to strong arm me and even got upset because I kept telling him I wanted to cancel. Then after I got off the phone with the guy and he said he was going to cancel my account, he did not cancel it. Instead I got charged. It took me forever and a LOT of hassal to get them to stop charging me. Then when I looked at my report, I found that they only gave me a credit history, it didn't even come with a credit score, you have to pay extra for that. This was NOT worth all the crap that came along with it. I am SORELY disappointed.

They are guilty of false advertising.

If you want to know about your credit go directly to each of the three credit bureaus sites: Trans Union, Experian and Equifax they have credit monitoring there and the last time I checked it was free for a month, then I canceled before my 30 days were up so I did not have to pay a monthly fee. I also paid for my credit scores from all three bureaus for less then $8.00, that is a excellent deal. Check each out from time to time to see who has the best offers! Why pay a middle man more when you can go to the source for less! Happy New Year and Best Wishes to all!

For a truly free credit site, go to creditkarma.com. They are wonderful! Stay away from this site.

I did not really need it, I just wanted to try it out but I really did not have a problem canceling, I was only on the phone for 4 minutes and they person I talked to was very nice.

Implies free credit report - in actuality, it's just to lure you to overpriced services you probably don't knew. Goto www.freecreditreport.Gov This sites address should be freecreditreport.scam

I was first drawn into this site from their catchy ads on TV. However upon further investigation, the features on this site aren't truly free and highly misleading. Please save yourself the time and headache and avoid using this site to check your credit score.
