FreeCreditReport.com
Free Credit Report (freecreditreport.com) is a website run by Experian, one of the three major credit bureaus in the United States. It operates under the subsidiary Experian Consumer Direct, which offers online credit monitoring and information products. The site was established to promote Experian’s Triple Advantage credit monitoring program by offering customers free credit reports in exchange for signing up to a 7-day trial of Triple Advantage.
The site also belongs to a larger network, Consumer Info (consumerinfo.com), which is also owned by Experian. Consumer Info has been around since 1995 and provides consumers with online credit information and monitoring services. It does not market any specific program—it has been designed as a guide and informational resource for American consumers.
At Free Credit Report, the report is issued free until the trial period expires. To avoid paying fees, customers can cancel the trial beforehand by calling Experian Consumer Direct’s toll-free number, 1-866-252-0121. Otherwise, the trial period converts into a paid membership package, which costs around $15 per month.
