A Fine Print Fine
If you signed up for a free credit report with freecreditreport.com or Experian, only to be hit with a fee later on for their credit monitoring service, you might be able to get a refund. It seems the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) thought consumers were tricked into an annual service when they thought they were just getting a free credit report.
If you want to see your credit report at no charge, go to the website set up by the FTC. This website is a result of the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) that lets you see your credit report for free once every 12 months.
