I enrolled with Privacy Assist a month ago. I am happy with the serivce os far. I choose them because of the additional identity theft protection they do that is included the monthy fee. They also will check varying places on the internet where stolen credit card info can and is posted you specify which accounts like VISA Master Card Discover. There is a limit of 4. After the initial credit you have wait four months then its every three months thereafter.
The credit Xpert score is from the same company that produces a FICO score simulaotor tools. The Credit Xpert FICO simulator is widely used through out the industry it is simply the best. So I would surmise that the Credit Xpert score will have FIICO score characteristics in it. I pulled a MY FICO TU credit report and compared it to Credit XPert score and it was within 5 points. I will track this over time. Also note that the reports were pulled a month a part.
I hope this helps

credit check total no longer offers daily pulls as of today. i got a message that they max the pulls allowed at 3 per 30 days for the 29.95 price.
i'm searching the net for an alternative now. I subscribed to cct a couple of days ago (paid up front, no trial) so i will call and complain and ask for a refund due to false advertisement and 3/30 days is not what i signed up with them for. (unless i can't find a better alternative, so far this might be the only choice other than the other montly 3 in 1 pulls out there)

Hi t5. Thanks for pointing that out. I saw one post claim that a CSR had said the message was sent in error to those who don't pay for the "unlimited" package. Today was d-day so I'll try pulling again tomorrow to see if there's any indication that you can't pull daily. Stay tuned....and yes, I also use MPM (thanks Beam) and I always preferred the old TC (daily 3-in-1) over CCT anyway. You can't go wrong with it.

I just changed to CCT under USAA ($12.95/mo unlimited daily pulls). I just called to cancel TrueCredit.com. It was a good service, and the best one I had found so far for the price ($14.95/mo daily TU pulls and monthly EX & EQ pulls). Wow, what a PITA. The foreign lady would not let me off the phone. 10 minutes she tried to continue selling me on it. She offered me a month free, $9.95/mo, etc... She wouldn't stop. After 10 minutes I had to tell her "look, I've checked you both out, I like them better. Please cancel me now.".

I had cancelled my Truecredit.com late last year and renewed it today. I was shocked to find there are no monthly 3-credit reports. I even chatted with the rep thru their website chat. She confirmed it it is now $14.95 for daily TU change reports and a monthly full report. $29.95 for adding what you used to get monthly in the old system.
I looked and looked - no way to cancel without calling. What a joke. I had previously thought they had a decent product but will now advise against signing up.

Clarification: So they no longer offer monthly 3-in-1 reports as part of the monthly cost? If so, I'll update.
They've gone off the deep end if so! I remember the day when you could pull all 3 reports every single day via TC for $14.95 (seems like it was $12.95 originally) and they used to provide daily TransRisk (not Vantage like now) score updates daily. And on top of that you could get unlimited full TU reports (complete with softs and all) as a side benefit. I also remember when they banned a herd of folks for pulling daily too. LOL!
