Just enrolled in Amex Credit Secure

Really great interface. The fako scores look out of wack and wayyyyy too high. I actually chuckled a bit when i saw them. Four questions though. Is Credit Secure by Amex actually worth the $14.99? Is there a better service out there for relatively less or slightly more? Also is the inquiries tab for all credit reports (EX, TU, EQ) actually legit? I find it very hard to believe that i only have 2 hard inquiries on my TU report. How can i check the soft inq on my credit report through Credit Secure?

 

ANY insight will be appreciated!

Credit Secure can definitely be useful for certain things ...

 

And speaking of INQs, yes the counts are legit.  

 

You cannot check your softs through CS.

I have it as a credit monitoring service, and for help if I do suffer from ID theft.  I consider it worth it.  And you can't trust any scores any more, even MyFICO's, as there are way too many versiuons of everything.

The slide from grace is really more like gliding
And I've found the trick is not to stop the sliding
But to find a graceful way of staying slid

Worth and better are always highly subjective.  Refer to the CMS thread for other alternatives and see if any might suit you better.

Pull your TU report to verify.  Soft inquiries are only available on reports acquired directly from each of the CRA's.  You won't get them via a CMS.
