My friend was helping me by co-signing for my residential rental. She obtained both our credit reports from Experian online as a requirement of the rental application. Online it says you will be charged {$1.00} for each report. I thought I was only paying {$1.00}. Then they started charging her credit card ( she paid for me ) monthly for ongoing monitoring that I was unaware we was signing up for. Unfortunately I did not notice right away. It was {$21.00} a month. I called Experian and they said in fine print when you order your {$1.00} credit report you are automatically signed up for monthly monitoring for your lifetime unless you cancel within 7 days. My friend did n't see/notice this fine print. I looked online at XXXX to see if others have this problem. They have XXXX star and XXXX reviews and almost every review says that the customer was fooled into paying for this monthly monitoring service without knowing. My friend has now been billed for this monthly fee for 4 months starting in XXXX. Experian refused to refund the money.
