I clicked on Free Credit Report.com thinking I was going to get my annual free credit report..............I was charged $12.95 . Called to complain and was told to forget it....they already had my money. While they do note this membership charge, it is well hidden. If you note their TV ad....they also mention it at reduced volume at end of message. To me this is deceptive advertising....cheating. As a stockholder of Yahoo and a daily user, I think you should take some action to prevent others from being conned by this outfit.

On the front page of freecreditreport.com it clearly says you'll be billed $12.95 after 30 days. You enrolled yourself in a credit monitoring service. You did you your report for free, but you're being charged for the monitoring service.
"IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
When you order your free report here, you will begin your free trial membership in Triple AdvantageSM Credit Monitoring. If you don't cancel your membership within the 30-day trial period, you will be billed $12.95 for each month that you continue your membership.
ConsumerInfo.com and Freecreditreport.com are not affiliated with the annual free credit report program. Under a new Federal law, you have the right to receive a free copy of your credit report once every 12 months from each of the three nationwide consumer reporting companies. To request your free annual report under that law, you must go to www.annualcreditreport.com."

How is it yahoo's fault that you didn't read the fine print..and you obviously gave that company your credit card number, so that's something that maybe you should take up with freecreditreport.com, and not blame someone else because you didn't pay attention to what you were doing.

Yeah...i don't even think of they study any of the solutions that are flagged the two. Mine exchange into deleted and it exchange into not even close to to being offensive. It exchange into no distinctive from the different solutions settle for i exchange into expressing a topic i had with the service that all and sundry else had. i assume the moderator or person with the optimal point did not like the reality that i exchange into growing to be a member of in on the communique. i think of somebody who works for Yahoo has a private vendetta against me and purely deletes my positioned up because of the fact they are purely immature no life having wierdos. something desires to be executed, like reform.

That's not cool. In the future, go to the site below where the credit reports are actually free (one per year for each bureau).

You wouldn't file a complaint with YAHOO you need to file a complaint with the company that charged you. Did you not read the terms of the conditions? I know I did....and it did explicity tell me that I would be charged....

Yahoo is so big, it's difficult to get any complaints heard about anything. That's the problem with giant companies, they are out of touch with their customers.

Report them to the Better Business Bureau. Believe it or not it does matter to businesses.
