Convinced also that FICO wants you to buy Scorewatch

So I posted recently about why I hadn't received an alert since April 11, and the moderator explained how often alerts should come to your inbox.  But lo and behold, I finally caved in and used my free scorepower report and my score had increased.  I received no alert from FICO and had to use my free scorepower report.  I was realy hoping not to have to use this score power report until middle May, when I reapply for a mortgage.  Now I have to pay.  I think this is really unfair, considering I pay 8.95/mth for score monitoring, et al.  Very frustrated.

my sentiments exactly...I'm convinced the scorewatch is a piece of sh*t but these forums are helpful...one of the admins said someone would be in touch with me about my account as I have been having the same problems as you, I definately wont be holding my breath tho

I agree with you, the boards are terrific.  Scorewatch is even good initially, but give it about 1 month or so and then you get the shaft.  If not for the problems, this could be a terrific tool.  I hope someone gets back to you re your account.  Maybe they'll give you and I both a free scorepower report.  We'll wait and see.

Once you use up your free scorewatch report, do you not get alerts?? Mine says I have to buy my score now.....i'm so confused.

I too was having difficulty with score watch as I posted earlier,however I requested a corporate number and I must say I am very satisfied at the response that I got. A supervisor called me back and was very courteous and listened to my concerns. So don't give up just yet.
