Just goes to show what the right domain name will do for bringing in the traffic, misleading as it is.

Bottom line, it’s a scam. It’s not free. It’s never free. There are always small little fees that will come back to bite you in the *ss. It’s a matter of being mindful that nothing in this life is free no matter how good it sounds. People are always using a lure to get you to spend money, NOTHING IS FREE!!!

This service is a rip off! I was a member for several months and my credit score was 762. When I canceled my membership and later started the refinance process on my house, guess what? My credit score suddenly dropped about 60 points for stuff that had been monitored for 3 years AND I had paid off several of the bills all satisfactorily!

Very informative post. Thank you. I have always mainted a Credit Score of 700 and above. And if I can give any advice to anyone out there struggling is be patient. It takes sometime to buid your score back up. Just make sure you plan out everything, write out how much you make each month and how much you can spend. That is the best way to maintain a positive credit score. I hope that was beneficial to some people!

Well, the other think is they offer a FACO score instead of FICO, so the score you get from them is far different. When you receive your first credit score plus, or whatever the name is, and you see, let’s say 740 as your credit score, your FICO will actually be around 680 (which is what your lenders will see when they pull your report, not the FACO you get).

Those FreeCreditReport.com commercials annoy me to no end! I actually just visited AnnualCreditReport.com and got my report (through Experian, incidentally).

Oh, it’s change to 9 days! I though it’s 14 days. So far they said after 14 days they start to charge you. I just check on their web site again, now is 7 days!!!!

@ChristianPF – I saw you article I think late last year. I think I left comment too. Yeah, definitely one of the most misleading name if I ever saw one.

@K – It’s good that you were able to get your money back. I wish I was as persistent and stood my ground with them.

I was scammed by Triple Advantage. By nature, I’m very suspicious person, and I distinctly remember NOT giving them my credit card number. I really had no reason to think I would be charged for anything, especially since they include an up-sell offer, which I declined.

What really betrays TripleAdvantage as a scam is their willingness to give full refunds. After three calls to their customer service hotline (the first of which ended with the line “disconnecting”), I was given a full refund, even though they say that’s against their policy. I think their customer service reps are so deluged by angry customers that they’ll bend easily to clear their consciences.

The bottom line is, their advertising is deceptive, and has cheated tons of people out of their money.
