I used www.freecreditreport.com in December of 2006. I found stuff on my record that shouldn't have even been there. They'll only ask for money if you want to get their report monitoring service.

It seems to be an Experian Company - Caution though, I used Experian in the UK just to see what my rating was. A lot of interesting detail so I decided to print out it out and needed to take on a trial subscription for one month. I was happy to subscribe for the month to get all the printouts.

However, a few months lated, my wife alerted me to the fact that they were still taking a monthly subscription, month-on-month.

I rang them to complain and was advised that I should have cancelled the subscription BEFORE the Month's end. In other words, you have to OPT OUT!

That said, Experian did give a refund once they confirmed that I had only used the service on that one time. (I had to argue the point to get it all back, they only wanted to give a 1 month 'good will' refund...Afte demanding to talk to a manager... the full refund less 1 month was forthcoming)
