Experian diverted me to FreeCreditReport.com? Please Help

[Anonymous]

So, I set out today to get my credit scores. I went to that goverment annual credit report site. So far, so good. I started with Equifax. I decided I wanted my score as well, so I paid 7.95 and got it.

I then tried to do the same with Experian. So, there I was on Experian's website. However, when I went to buy the score I seem to have ended up with FreeCreditReport.com. Does Experian have some special deal with them?

What gives?

Is FreeCreditReport.com even accurate?

FCR.com is a service provided by Experian.

The scores you'll get there are FAKOs.

The one you purchased from EQ may have been a FICO if it states FICO.

Any you get from EX or a third party site will be a FAKO.

TU does offer a TU FICO at a special website they have, but not their regular website.

You can not get your EX FICO form anywhere directly.
