sorry to say, I just checked with my bank and if you google the company, they are a FRAUDULENT COMPANY- call your bank about them--and report them to the better business bureau---doesn't that suck? It's bad enough you have to watch your credit report but then the "free credit report.com actually sends you to a site that is a rip off--mine is with experian, rip off, rip off, rip off, and God knows when I'll ever get the issue resolved. By the way-- free annual report- transunion- questioned the fraudulent charge- they e mailed me the next day with a corrected credit report!!!! What a bunch of phonies to make money on people who really don't have it to waste--now I have to play the wait and see game about getting this taken care of, why doesn't the government step in and say- hey, they contacted ONE BUREAU, CAN'T YOU TALK TO EACHOTHER AND STRAIGHTEN THE PROBLEM OUT FOR THESE PEOPLE? NOOOOOOOOOO, that would be too damn convenient for us suckers.............good luck to you.

Fyi---call your bank immediately after it posts to your account-- and tell them it is fraud---they will automatically investigate the company and you will get your money back, not fast, but you will within 2 weeks.

Beware of any company--check them out on google first and don't trust the first 10 pages--they hide the bad companies 20-30 pages in..........been burned at christmas by bidz.com

Just a note to everyone...I've had the same problem, CIC credit monitoring has been charging me 11.95 here, and 9.95 there. I went to the better business buruea (sp)and found a website for them...it is consumerinfo.com. It's a branch of experian as you probably know. Anyways, to cancel (even though, WHY should we have to cancel if we didn't even join), call 1-888-888-8553. Give them a good balling out from me too, they're going to get it from me!

Everyone is out to make a buck. Even when you think they are trying to help you, they are just looking for money.

Now wait a minute. I'm kind of confused here. Everyone is trying to make a buck even if they say they are helping? Huh? This place (I'm assuming) is somehow related to Experion (from what has been posted). Now, when I was checking my credit reports, I did see places where you could request some kind of "service" from these places regarding your credit report. Could this person have accidentally (not intentional) let this be "checked" as saying yes, so this company provided the service? Which, in turn, they charged for it? I just noticed it while I was checking mine and just made sure I wasn't leaving anything "checked" as a "service" because I knew I would have to pay for it. I don't think this company is just trying to make a buck by saying they're helping. I think something may have been overlooked and it went through as saying "yes, I want this service". Luckily, it can be cancelled. I just made sure I read every word so I didn't let anything surprise me.

Very good point Cannr. Too often I see people on this site assuming everyone is out to rip them off, when in fact that is not happening.

chickee-CIC is a Legit company...so is Experian.

Yea, lets be careful here, cant pass judgement on something that is a legit service that can indeed be cancelled at any time. Just follow the cancellation process.

OMG! I have had this problem just happen to me. I called the number right away.The lady was at least nice but I almost couldn't even understand what she was saying her accent was soo thick. And of course she kept trying to get me to stay or she told me our records show that now your a paid member and you haven't checked your latest report but since your a full member you have unlimited access. I'm like I don't care I just want to cancel. She said but it would be best if you checked I said I don't need to check my score I just did it once for free and I know the site says after 30 days blah blah just cancel it. Finally she did I'm supposed to get a confirmation e mail or something like I said I couldn't even understand her. Man I could have swore I did the free credit report like months ago. I cant even remember I forgot I even did thats how long ago it was. I'm just glad I caught this before I was charged more. I don't remember the site looking that good either it was a basic site when I tried it. And of course now they have that whole membership after 30 days thing on the front page so no one can complain they didn't see it anymore. I didn't ask for a refund I didn't feel like fighting. It's just $12 if it were more than that you bet your ass I would be on it! Man This pisses me off.

You guys do make a good point thats why I didnt fight them I just wanted to cancel. It was obviously my fault for not reading carefully. They shouldn't advertise too much of the Free aspect of their site tho. Because it mislead a lot of people. I mean no one would complain if they did sign up to be a member because then they are getting a service they paid for. Its just those of us that either didn't see the fine print for one reason or another. like i mentioned its not really fine print anymore now they have it on the first page. So hopefully this problem wont happen anymore.

canface, completely understandable. I believe it's kind of "small" and it's already "checked" that you want the service. So I'm sure a lot of people get the service without even being aware of it. But, after going through a lot of crap, I've learned to read every single word and look at every single box, etc. to make sure I'm not signing up for anything I don't want! I'm glad you were able to cancel it.

About 4 months ago I tried to get a free credit report and I noticed from then I was being charged by this cic, 9.95 a month and I didn't know how to reach them or even get back on their site. I guess I will just have to get my bank to stop payment to them. hopefully it does effect my credit later in the future.

Got my "free" credit report from freecreditreport.com about a month ago. 5 minutes after viewing the report online, I called and cancelled the credit monitoring service. The next month,a $12.95 charge appears on my credit card statement. I called CIC credit monitoring to dispute the charge. Even though I cancelled the service,they claim that I looked at my credit report again a few days later and this reactivated my membership. This is untrue. I had never looked at the report since the first time. I told them I would be contacting the FTC, my credit card company, and joining the class action suit. After talking to the supervisor, they refunded my money. It was credited to my account on the very same day.

those jerkasses just charged me 12.95 and i dont think i ever signed up with them. :twisted: :twisted: :evil: :!: hell will be raised.

I just called them. First the 877-481-6825 where, after a minute or so of waiting for next available operator, I got a continuous busy signal.

Then called Experian at 800-220-2626 and asked for immediate removal from the service. This was granted without problem and I have a couple of e-mail confirmations to support the fact. We'll see what happens next month!

Perhaps they are giving up attempting to argue you into staying, as the fight and victory was almost disappointing!

I just called the number above and they cancelled my services. Lets hope there are no more charges, but if that worked it was very easy and not even a long wait!
