You need to do more research before jumping into something blindly.  On Freecreditreport&#039;s(FCR) home page they even give you that information and if you do check into it you will see that ACR has nothing to do with FCR.  You don&#039;t get your score but you can get one report from each bureau once a  year.  Also, if you look at your credit card statement you will see that the company is based in California.  Everybody outsources to other countries but I&#039;ve spoken with people in the US everytime I&#039;ve called.  I could tell they were from the south due to their accent.  Why waste your time and money over $15?  You signed up and didn&#039;t read the information, it&#039;s your fault so take responsibility for your actions.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You can get one free report a year from Annualcreditreport.com (ACR).

Despite the fact that I did not have a receipt, FCR.com would not refund me the money.  I canceled within 24 hours of signing-up, well within the cancellation period and never was this charge communicated to me.

Its totally unfair and its not even in the untied states. I love how companies can trick people into payments. Its so wonderful knowing that they take your money than call you dumb. Its our right to have a credit report each year for free and they took that away from us by tricking consumers. Its really wrong and more people should fight them. I&#039;m disputing them for fun now. I know its only 14.75 but ill spend more yelling at them to prove a point.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Free credit report is a rip off, some Indian lady told me there is no refund.

Unfortunately, they also use a similar scam by posting bogus apartment listings on Craigslist.  The bogus postings outnumber the legitimate ones.  Of course, each application must be accompanied by a &quot;free&quot; credit report from guess who. They are victimizing not only job seekers like yourself, but also people who are looking for a place for their family to live.

&quot;Thank you so much for sending us your resume. We have reviewed and would like to set up and interview with you. Before we can set up an interview, due to past misuse of the company credit card we will need you to get a copy of your credit report. We recommend this site....&quot;
Then guess what that site is! So, I fell for it the first time but then after the next 15 responses on jobs I got were exactly the same and even after I emailed them back to inform them I had my report just to see what happend...never heard another word.
Considering I am a single mom and truely needing to find a job and sending out resumes like crazy it is extremely frustrating when I waste my time sending my resumes and responded to the fake ads to get you to get a credit report and now I find out that it&#039;s NOT REALLY FREE.

I did and it told me I had to CALL in to cancel within 9 days.  I also noticed that it ASKED if I wanted to upgrade to a 3 bureau report for $24.95 and that it would charge me immediately for that.  I pressed the button that said no thanks.  You people who think this is a scam are too stupid for your own good.  And that lawyer needs to do some research before she starts asking about a class action suit.  It&#039;s simple people, READ before you give someone your credit card info and quit complaining when you don&#039;t.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hey, how many of you idiots actually read the important information on the site before signing up?  I did and it told me I had to CALL in to cancel within 9 days.  I also noticed that it ASKED if I wanted to upgrade to a 3 bureau report for $24.95 and that it would charge me immediately for that.  I pressed the button that said no thanks.  You people who think this is a scam are too stupid for your own good.

I just noticed my credit card being billed 99.95$ for the annual membership, so for the ones that said this is not a SCAM, I have a clear example that THIS IS A REAL SCAM! I called them just now, today is day 9 after I signed up, and they said, sorry but we cant give you a refund, I read all out to the rep that the website clearly says that after 1 week you would be charged a monthly membership not a year one! I was so furios I could not believe they really were trying to steal my money! I asked to speak to a supervisor and after going over the situation with him again, he said, fine we will refund you the 99.95$. I would never ever use their services again!</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I just wanted the 1 month membership and decided not to call after the 1 week trial, as of now, it is 1 week, not 9 days like some of you are saying.

It is a scam and uses much deceptive advertising, including bogus ads on Craigslist for apartments that don&#039;t exist,  which require a &quot;free&quot;  credit report, obtained of course from your bogus company.
