FreeCreditReport.com / Experian scam

May 19, 2008

Experian complaint by Kingmob8

These monsters will start charging you 15 bucks a month after you log in to their site. The site says free credit report but after they get your information they start billing you each month for an account without ever sending out a confirmation. I usually never go to these spam sites but the ads and what not for the site are so ubiquitous that I figured I would have heard something about the scam before. I called my bank and they said I could dispute it but that I should call the company and try to argue with them. I did and they basically told me that I was screwed.
