A while ago I signed up for the free credit monitoring service provided by freecreditreport.com. Apparently there is a 7-day free trail of a monitoring service that they sign you up to automatically, the details hidden somewhere in the small print. I haven’t been using one of my credit cards much recently, so the $14.95 charge from "CIC * TripleAdvantage" stood out. I googled for it and found a bunch of people with the same problem.

This site has some good information on how to go about cancelling. I didn’t have too many problems, but they did try pretty hard to keep me on, and when that didn’t work they offered me a free a month in the hope I’d forget to cancel again.

If you ever used this site, I’d recommend checking you’re not still paying for it unbeknownst to you.
