Experian Credit Reporting Complaint

Improper use of my credit report received marketing offer after opted out

Experian Credit reporting department,

Improper use of my credit report Received marketing offer after opted out Virginia

Due to the information listed on the usa.gov/credit-reports page, I believed that I was entitled to a free credit report from Experian.com ; when I attempted to sign up for an account on their site and realized they were trying to charge me money, I actually aborted the sign-up process and did not complete it, but they nevertheless have been charging a monthly fee of - from my credit card for months while providing absolutely no service or information in return. I was never given a score, report, or credit information of any kind, by email, paper mail, or any other means. According to the Experian customer service line, there is a page somewhere on the site that will allow you to get your yearly free credit report, but it is deceptively hidden away in an attempt to bait people to sign-up for the subscription on the front page by mistake. Such an untrustworthy site should not be advertised on a government webpage.
