<p>If you ever fell for their &#8216;free trial&#8217;, check the card you used, it&#8217;s likely they are still charging you.</p>
<p>I opened a free trial account with freecreditreport.com in which I was told I would have 30 days to cancel.<br />
I downloaded my free credit report, and promptly called them to cancel my account.<br />
I was told the account was cancelled.<br />
A month or so later I noticed I was charged by Truecredit at 800-493-3292<br />
I called them and attempted to cancel again.<br />
Finally after speaking and arguing with several people I was told the account was cancelled.<br />
I have been charged monthly since then.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m not going to call them yet, this time I filed a dispute for every charge from them with American Express.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ll see how that goes. If it doesn&#8217;t go well, I will take them to small claims court.</p>
<p><a title="Bunch of liars and scammers" href="http://www.freecreditreport.com/">Don&#8217;t ever go here, these guys are a bunch of dirty scammers!</a></p>
<p>I went to their website (linked above), and had a good laugh at the disclaimer at the top.</p>
