I went in knowing my situation was pretty bad but honestly afraid to do the math and see just how bad, and feeling helpless and ashamed. I left knowing that my situation is pretty dire - but that I have options and a path forward - and feeling hopeful and empowered. Through the whole process they have been kind, and never judgmental about how I got into so much debt - just offering resources to help me be able to change the patterns that got me here. If you are having problems with debt, these folks are a great place to start for getting it under control.

Called Customer Service only to be passed around. 4 different numbers later, poor signal and agents who could barely speak English.... needless to say nothing was resolved. After two months of payments and no reports I called Customer Service back and demanded a refund. Apparently the payments will be refunded and my "account" closed. Let's see. I wouldn't bother with Transunion. So far Equifax has been slightly more helpful.

Unreal. I wanted to check my credit score ONE TIME online. I put in all the required information…read moreand was prepared to pay the fee for a one time viewing. It turns out that I unknowingly signed up for a monthly monitoring program for $19.99 a month. I called for information regarding the numbers on the report and the lady was pretty useless. I understand that credit hits vary when you create an inquiry, like applying for a new credit card, but she couldn't even give me a ballpark answer for how many points could be deducted from my score for such a thing. She said it was up to the company?? Then, when I didn't notice a loan application from June on my report, she said that the creditor could have run my credit through Equifax, not Transunion, and that those credit checks don't show up on the Transunion report. So not only did I get swindled into signing up for a monthly fee (which I had to pay the first $19.99, then she cancelled it so hopefully I don't get charged again), but that monthly fee is only for potentially half a credit report!! Whatever happens through Equifax doesn't show up on a Transunion report, and vice versa. DON'T DO IT! Just try to limit credit checks as much as possible, you can't see everything on their reports anyway. What a rip-off, she did not freely offer this information either, I found out through serious questioning as she was not very forthcoming with info. STAY AWAY!
