When you signed up for the seven day trial -- did it give you all three reports? Or only the Experian report.
Thanks

I decided to try the $1 trial today and cancelled - I want to see if we can repeat hit like we could before.
All three - scores and reports.
I can confirm the same.
Now the $1 dollar question is whether we can keep churning this $1 7-day trial like we used to.
I was on the phone with Experian for fifty minutes this morning trying to get my account updated. Still can't get into it. What a mess. I resent their wasting my time. I really do. Although the young woman helping me did her best.

That really sucks! What the heck are we gonna recommend to peeps now to get actual FICO scores.
Perhaps the domain that this community is a subdomain of? Lol
edit: I just received the following email a short while ago when I couldn’t log into my free EX credit score app:

i can’t log in using any username or recover my account under any circumstance. Does anyone remember my post a week or two back regarding CCT? I’ve been unable to use CCT for years and now I can’t recover access to my accounts at:
creditscore.com
creditscorecard.com
creditchecktotal.com
experian.com
I’m ready to create a $40/mo budget category for FICO 3B Ultimate and never cancel over this crap. I been complaining about CCT lockout for years.
@Musiclover that was my experience this morning as well.
Guys, I nearly had a heart attack this morning when trying to get into cct. This is kinda devastating.
The one silver lining in all of this is that in spite of my confusion, I *knew* that I could come here and find a discussion about it to confirm that I wasn't losing my mind or was the victim of some strange attack.
Has BBS tried to use CCT in the last few days? He's typically my go to guy regarding CCT. I have never used CCT myself but as others have mentioned it's a service I often recommend to people, especially newcomers.
In the last year there have been at least half a dozen threads where people were certain that CCT was finished, and BBS did a bit of legwork and found out that this was not the case.
It sounds like Calyx (earlier in this thread) did the $1 CCT trial yesterday without difficulty, if I am reading his post right.

Yup.
For total clarification:
I tried to log into CCT with my CCT user/pass and it did not work.
I logged into CCT with my Experian user/pass and it offered me the $1 trial.
I did the $1 trial - and got the Experian dashboard with my former Experian archived reports as well as the new 3B pull.
I then cancelled my "membership"
When looking at TOS - it didn't have the 9 day cancellation language like CCT did (it says 7), so I didn't want to forget since I had gotten used to my second pull on day 8 before cancelling.
Here's a screenshot with the archived reports drop down on Experian - I had done CCT pulls on Dec 1 and Dec 8, so you can see that they didn't combine my account reports (boo)
I'm having some issues logging into CCT today (it seems to time out), so I'm not sure if I can get another trial, which is what I'm hoping for, but I'll keep trying.

I hadn't, but after reading this thread I went ahead and did another $1 trial. When going to CCT.com and trying to log in, the graphic in the upper left corner of the screen (and url) remains CCT, but the UN/PW section looks identical to what you'd see when logging into your Experian.com account. When using my CCT login credentials, I was not able to log in. Backing up, I went again to the CCT.com main screen where it shows you can do a $1 trial. Instead of my usual login first, I clicked this icon where I was prompted to sign up. It said my UN was already taken, so I just added a character to the end of it and proceeded. $1 trial started, 3B report/scores delivered.
The most important takeaway here is that you can still get your 3B report/scores for $1. I'm not sure if you can cancel and do another dollar trial with the same login credentials, but I would imagine at the very least you can sign up again simply adding another character to your UN and it would work.
The downside I see to this change is:
THREAD WORTHY UPDATE: I'm about to start a thread on this because to me, it's that exciting. With these new $1 trials, you get far more scores than just your 3 FICO 8s! You are also provided with your EX FICO 2 (mortgage) score, FICO Auto Score 8 and 2 (both EX), as well as EX FICO Bankcard Score 8, EX FICO Score 3 and EX Bankcard Score 2!
