They have it in hard to read writing i've noticed since their class action law suit filed a few years back. The writing is there (of course it is hard to read), but it is there. It WASNT before. ALWAYS read the fine print.

I had the same problem as the people below me, however I was able to cancel the account today without any problems. The only thing they as for is you social sequrity number. they will try to persuade you to keep your account, but just politely say no. Here is number i called: 1877-481-6826.

I just called that number ^ and they cancelled my membership, and he didnt even give me any qualms about it. I was also getting charged 12 bucks. Damn experian. They're probably getting used to people just cancellng it, so they knew not to even argue with me! lol

:roll:

I started to e-mail a ltr to the "FREE" report but cancelled before I sent it. They somehow got my bank info and are taking the $$ out. How do I stop them CIC?

I current have 3 pending charges for $34.95 each on my credit card. The number they give you is no good. Even the bank is cooperating with them. The bank refuses to do anything about it. This is out right fraud.

We have had the same charges and called our credit card company who said it is possible fraud and canceled our credit cards. Class action suit filed.

I ordered the one time credit report thing.

I cancelled immediately....but that was 9 months ago.

I checked my bank statement to find out that they have been charging me for the last 9 months, even though i had cancelled the same day i signed up.

What a ripoff.

I'm bent! :evil:

CIC just took $12.95 out of my checking account and I haven't even heard of them! My husband got a free credit report once and now somehow they got my name and account number. Does anyone know their web address so I can possibly contact them and end this?

This is a credit monitering service that allows you to sign in on their website to keep a check on your credit report. All you have to do to cancel it, is call Experian as it is part of their entity--they will give you a cancel confirmation number also. No more debiting your checking account electronically.

they totally screw you. and the guy was trying to give me SHIT for it. i had no clue they were going to charge me 13 dollars and they made me go over my credit limit. so i got charged an extra 30 dollars. 43 DOLLARS TO LOOK @ MY CREDIT SCORE!? ARE YOU KIDDING ME.

I just called the 800-220-2626 number and canceled their services. they also called my credit card company and canceled the charge. i never signed up for this service either

I too had this problem last year... you need to call the number shown on your credit card (877-481-6825) and unsubscribe your membership. I was told that you can only be refunded one charge, but that I needed to mail a copy of my affected statements to the following address, along with my customer number (given to me by the CIC Triple Advantage representative), and a letter stating that I would like my money refunded.

Here is the address, but I would recommend first calling CIC Triple Advantage:

Consumer Relations
PO Box 19729
Irvine, CA 92623-9729

All of this came about from signing up for a "free" credit report on their website and not removing my "membership" from their database within the 30-day trial period. Therefore, I received a $12 charge every month thereon. I also understand that this company (if that's what you want to call them) is not listed with the Better Business Bureau, but that they have thousands of complaints listed against them, which don't do any good.

Good luck!!! Make sure to tell all your friends & family!

Just wanted to let everyone know that I had the same problem you all are having. I was 'enrolled' without my authorization back in May... thats 6 months of charges --12.95 a month!! Anyway I searched the billing company "CIC Triple Advantage" and came up with this site..so I then called them! 1-877-481-6825. Now these are the most slimy and unhelpful people ever BUT I got a complete refund 77.70 dollars! You just need to be strong with them, not baligerant, but steadfast without taking no for an answer! Ask to speak with the supervisor, repeatedly if necessary, tell them youve filed a report with the Better Business Bureau, that it was an unauthorized transaction AND that youve found THIS SITE and know that more than 1500 reports have been filed against this company!

I had to call 3 times and get the boss out of a "conference" to get refunded but it worked! They'll tell you to mail in a claim to 'Consumerinfo/crg PO 19729, Irvine CA, 92623-23 and to call (949)567-3853 which is simply an answering machine, so DONT DO IT, just stay on the phone and get it done through through the 877 number! So anyway I hope this helps, lets not let this company get away with it! They know what they're doing, they'll just play dumb!

I don' t want to be a part of this service any longer please remove me from your service.

I just got hit with this too -- I was going to cancel with Triple advantage but this is the link I got when I clicked on cancel..."We are strictly internet based and we can not be contacted by phone please e-mail us @...." So I just replied to the initial e-mail I got on sign-up with experian to cancel -- we will see!!
