A couple of weeks ago, I was notified that someone other than me had requested the log-in information for my XXXX account. Afraid that i was at risk for identity theft, I went to experian.com and paid for one of their credit reports ( which pulls from all XXXX reporting agencies ) to reassure myself that nobody had successfully stolen my identity ( YET ). During the process of purchasing the report, apparently I also signed up for a 7-day trial " credit tracking '' service, and agreed to have {$21.00} charged to my credit card on a monthly basis starting at the end of that 7 days. 
I do not recall agreeing to this, and of course I was anxious about the potential for identity theft, so I may have missed it. HOWEVER -- I think this a deceptive and disheartening initiiative on the part of Experian -- XXXX of the agencies I trust to help ensure that my credit is accurately represented and to help me identify any fraudulent use of that credit is pulling the same sort of sneaky " extra service '' shenannigans that XXXX XXXX and other credit card companies were pulling just a few years ago! I would like my money back, but have been assured by a banner on the experian web site that I will not receive that -- which to me indicates that I am not the only customer upset by this practice. I believe this was opportunistic on Experian 's part, as reports of tax fraud were rampant in the media. 
I hope this agency will hold Experian to a higher standard. This behavior is a little weaselly for a credit agency.
