Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?
I too have been part of an age old elaborate con. Its a similar thing to those companies who used to put things on their order forms in small print like "if you do not wish a set of 6 wine glasses priced $50 please out an x in this box, of course most people ignore it. So CIC is very similar, they are banking on the fact most people jus wanting a free credit report will fill in their form, and as most people do, not bother to read the terms and agreements. To be honest I cannot even remember where I filled in the free credit report app, and cannot remember seeing TOA, but obviously I cannot prove it. I did not receive a further mail or email about this, and like most people was charged $79.95 from my credit card.

I called the number given to me by my bank 1-877-513-4175 and spoke to one of their representatives after listening to several warnings of credit card fraud in the hold queue, and how CIC can best look after me. I finally spoke to Brad whose ID is 62456 and he said that my account has been cancelled and my money will be returned, but I will leave this complaint in until it does. When I asked him if everyone being ripped off is getting their money back, he rudely replied " are you not able to read the terms of agreement" somehow implying obviously that I am idiot. Where I come from that is not the way to talk to customers.

This is a deliberate and well thought out trap, there should be laws against it, nobody should be allowed to take money from your credit card account without a signature, that really should be law and Bush should do something about it.

This company and any other like it needs to be brought down, they need to suffer for all the upset and harm they have caused to others. They say on their phone messages they want to help you, yet they help put you in debt, they want to make you aware of fraud, but want to take your money without you being aware.

Please finish this company and get back all the money for the good of the common people. They are preying on peoples everyday flaws and insulting peoples intellegence.

Please Help everyone. And everyone warn people about this company by sending as many emails as you can.

Another CIC Credit Report Scam

My wife was reconciling our accounts and noticed a charge from CIC Credit Monitor. So, the little investigator I am, we typed the name in Google and came up with this site. "How convenient"! I called the company and they were terribly rude. The person I spoke to was Jack ID: 62096. He gladly refunded my money, until I asked if it would be the full amount. This is where things got heated. They were going to pro-rate the amount. "Pro rate... Are you kidding, I didn't even sign up for the account!" Even though it was $3.00, that amount times however many people they are doing this to, is a lot of money. Anyway, they way they did it to me was by using my credit card, my wife's name (how they got that I don't know), and someone else's social security number. This we were able to verify with him. Anyway, I called the bank and reported them. I am also posting this information to the site in hopes that collectively we can shut them down. Since I am in the military, I am going to base legal and see what they can do. They can issue a military wide ban on this company's services- hopefully!?
