TrueCredit.com now charging for EACH time you check ALL 3 Scores

i logged into my truecredit.com account and went to cycle the scores for the month.....before, I could do it no problem as part of my regular membership fee....but now, those sneaks are charging $9.95 for EACH time I click on Update Score for all 3 bureaus..............thats on top of the membership fee I already pay mthly.

Time to yank that weed!

Any suggestions on who to jump ship to for a 3 score report with a low mthly charge ?

How did you score this for $9.99/mth? When I click on the offer when I login to American Express, it says this:
Exclusive price for American Express Cardmembers, only $1.99 for the first 30 days.
After that, a monthly fee of only $11.99 will be automatically billed to your Card account until you cancel



$11.99

I was guessing - it had been a long time since I signed up for it and I honestly didn't remember what I paid.

I use Citi identity monitor - 1 update per 30 days for all 3 reports and score. It is only $4.95 per month if you sign up with this link. Not the best but works for me.

The scores are fine in my experience. It doesn't matter anyway as there is no 1 score - all companies have different models which tend to be pretty similar. As far as the credit alerts are concerned, it is pretty good. Credit reports are also fine. Over all a good value.

You can get your score free at https://www.creditkarma.com/

Unless you're really stressing the system, any one of the three major ones should be representative, maybe a few points plus or minus.

Then stagger your free annual credit reports so you get one every 4 months in order to check for bad information.
