Freecreditreport.com — NOT FREE!
I wrote a story a week ago about credit scores, and mentioned that all consumers should regularly check their credit reports. You can do that annually for each of the three major credit reporting bureaus for free at annualcreditreport.com. Every time I mention annualcreditreport.com, I get a few calls and emails from folks who try to get the information at freecreditreport.com.
Let me make this perfectly clear: freecreditreport.com IS NOT FREE!
The free place is annualcreditreport.com.
You know what happens when you go to freecreditreport.com? Let this guy fill you in:

I absolutly agree freecreditreport.com is a Total Rip Off!!!
It is just like he says in the video in the very small fine print they say cancel in 7 days. They do that on purpose they are out to get your money and apparently thats the only way they know how to do it is by trying to trick you.
They are no better than a common theif.
Information from the Clark Howard website:

Clark suggests using Quizzle.com, CreditKarma.com or Credit.com to get your free credit score. (Editor’s note: The scores offered by these 3 services are not the official FICO score, but rather an approximation of it.)
