Epic Fail

Well, I just had a wonderful experience with FreeCreditScore.com (run by the credit bureau Experian), and by wonderful I mean I was scammed.

They claim to give you access to your credit score for a free trial. They then tell you that you can check all 3 of the credit bureaus' scores for free once a year. However, they fail to sufficiently notify you of the fact that THEY CHARGE YOU to view all 3 reports! Thieving bastards!

My suggestion: Don't use them. Ever. You can get your reports (all of them) for free from the US Government at AnnualCreditReport. Alternatively, you can also get information mailed to you by checking out the FTC's website. - QBF

PS: Cheating bastards!

QBF just because it says it's FREE doesn't mean it is. Like FAT FREE foods, it's FAT FREE.......if you don't eat it.

remember the credit score number is never free, you always pay for that. you can get the credit report information (i.e. tradelines, information about payment history, inquiries, everything except the score factor) for free with annual credit report.
In my banking experience, I can't tell you how many times I had to explain this to people.

NSFW Monday!

Good Morning! This is the 21st, and last of my "Body-Painted Football Babes Bonanza" series. Perhaps more importantly however, the semi-finals begin tomorrow in the World Cup! So a hearty congratulations to the great teams who made it: Uruguay versus Netherlands Germany versus Spain They will play each other tomorrow and Wednesday respectively, but all signs point to Germany defeating the Netherlands in the final. Now, back to the babes! We have ladies representing the Italian Republic (the only returning champion I'd wager, to ever come dead last in the weakest group), and the Republic of Korea (South Korea -- who lost to Uruguay in the 2nd round). - QBF Spicy Meatball: Korea's Taekwan-Don't Stop!
