The website set up by the credit reporting agency Experian is bogus. The name of their website -- freecreditreport.com -- sure makes it sound as though you can get your credit report for free, but that isn't the case. When you go to the site, you are automatically enrolled in a "free trial," for which you will pay $12.95. Don't ever pay to see your credit report at this site! Instead, go to the site that is sanctioned for viewing your credit report for free -- really! It's
annualcreditreport.com and you can get a report from each of the agencies for free.
