Ray that sounds like the thing do do. I saw those options and actually was having a hard time finding one that didn’t include the membership. I found a “one time” report that was $47.
Enorah you said, “that is the way WE did it”. Did you and your partner each open a separate trial account, or did one account handle inquiries for both?
Ray & Enorah:
You both recommend cancelling. Could you think of any circumstances for which keeping the monitoring service might be a good idea?
We each opened our own accounts, as we are not married (legally at least) and canceled after one month. Cost each of us $11.95 (I think, my memory is hazy about that for some odd reason). The only reason we paid is because we were in the process of moving and just kept put off calling until our free 30 days had expired.
So, while on for 30 days we did each receive email notifications any time there was any activity regarding our credit.
We ran the reports ourselves to offer to potential landlords.
Well turns out none of them wanted our reports, they all had to run them themselves, as there are so many scammers out there.
We did get to see our credit scores though which was good info to have.
The only reason I can see keeping the service would be if you were concerned about identity theft, or if you were working at resolving a credit issue and needed access to your information on a regular basis.
