which is a better monitoring service? why? major differences between the 2?
I had their service through Capital One (myidalert.com and mycreditinform.com). They were charging me ~ $ 15 per quarter for a quarterly update of my Equifax credit file information and a FAKO credit score. As I started to wisen up, I found out that for that same amount of money I could've been ordering a credit report directly from Equifax along with a FICO score. Then, when I called to cancel, the agent tried to convince me that ordering a copy of my own report results in a hard inquiry and that I should stay with this credit monitoring service to ensure that I'd only have soft inquiries.
This above is what was in the original post from mojavemoon. The last two sentences sates that BoA told her that if she cancel her service with them and pulled her own CR's that it would be a hard hit. I didn't thin that was true-so I was just making sure. I know I have pulled mine befroe and never got a hard inquiry. So BoA just told a bold face lie-which is not the first lie they have told and probably not the last lie that they will ever tell.
Thanks for clearing this up. I was affraid that some people would believe it to be true.
Edit: The quote credited to Mojavemoon was duplicated twice. Just cleaned it up.
Yes, BoA made a bald-faced lie. It was a rep doing whatever they thought that they needed to do in order to keep a client, no matter how unethical. **rolls eyes at BoA
