Thread That Compares Credit Watching Services

[John060675]

There used to be a thread that gave the info on all the credit monitoring services.  It gave prices, details on the services, etc.   I cannot find it anymore.

If someone knows where it is, please let me know.  Thank you.

Probably Noah's.  l'll bump that thread for discussion.  You can find it in Understanding FICO scoring.

Is anyone still using this? I am a little leary of signing up for any of these. I don't know exactly what benefit the FAKO scores will be for me. Do they at least follow a trend or are they just haphazardly high and low compared to FICO? Meaning if Fakos are improving then FICOs are as well, albeit different numbers for scores? Let me know if you are using this and if not, why and what are you using now? Seems a lot of people using Truecredit, buy now changing over to others.  I assume most people pull frequent reports for the reports themselves, not the scores.  Thanks

I use NCIP basically to see my reports to check if GW letters have worked, inquiries, etc. The score I get from that site is so different from myFICO scores that personally I give the NCIP score little credibility.
