14.95 is too much to get three, you have to wait 24hours + 1 minute to update daily (instead of like with credit check total where you can log in whenever you want as long as it's after 12am pacific), and they took away free credit freezes/unfreezes.
the pros are all the nifty tools and graphs they include at the site for a realistic look at how you're doing since paying for service.
it's cheaper than many sites out there, but it's not the cheapest. for casual credit checkers it's a GREAT deal. for folks who like to check every day, not so much."

Reply Cancel ReplyIf you want to see all three real credit scores, this is the cheapest option I've seen. They also have a great combined 3-report view so you can see how you're history looks different from each of the three agencies. I would pay a monthly subscription, but I think it's worth checking at least once a year."

Reply Cancel ReplyBack when they allowed daily pulls, this was a good deal...now they only allow one per month. For the price there are options, and remember you get one for free every year, and when denied credit..."

Reply Cancel ReplyThere is a slight problem with mniake comment not all things are reported to all the bereaus, transunion is the cheapest one for companies to subscribe to, and also tends to have most errors, expereain is prefered by most credit unions and equafax is most commonly known, if you are that worried about id theft you should get your report and put a security alert on them then you have to be contacted every time someone tries to apply for credit and are notified of most problems associated with id theft"

Reply Cancel Replyhi, zowiecat. what i've found is that transunion is still the easiest to work with in correcting one's credit report. EXPERIAN is the worst to work with in correcting one's credit report. And in my own personal experience, Experian has had the most errors for me. I think it may depend on region of the country and just personal credit history; but I would like to see the numbers regarding errors. As for Experian preferred by most credit unions, that must be a new thing -- or, again, a regional thing. For a while, banks and credit unions were usually all about Equifax, with Experian being an exception, and Transunion pulled if the other two were frozen, upon request (if banks/cus allowed)."
I'd put a freeze on my reports before security alert; but if you have to go there with security alert, then yes.

Reply Cancel ReplyIf your smart you may use AnnualCreditReport.com and check one credit bureau every four months for free from the gov't with no fee or hit to your credit. By law you are allowed one free pull of your credit report with no penalty, it won't give you a score but you'll know if things are good or bad!"

Reply Cancel Replymnleake0528, smart people take advantage of all their options. having access to your credit report only once a year is great for casual curiosity; but it's suicide for actual credit repair."
I'm just sorry that places like True Credit and Chase' ID Protection have removed access to daily credit monitoring. Not everyone is trying to game the system. But once a month is MUCH better than once a year; and it's a great sensation to be able to correct one's credit report almost immediately instead of waiting for paper copies to reach you -- or (god help you) a year after the damage is done.
True Credit could be cheaper, yes. That's worth a thumbs down. But, again, once a month is better than once a year. And that's why it would ultimately get a thumbs up from me.
