Most Americans are concerned about their credit. Looming mortgages and staggering college debt have put many consumers in a situation where they need help with their credit, and they need it now. To this end, some credit-monitoring companies have been offering “free credit reports” based on a trial membership the credit report company, Experian is able to do just that.

Experian coin themselves as an “information services company” who provides marketing services, business analytics data, and consumer credit services. Within the consumer division, Experian offers several different products ranging from the purchase of an individual credit report to enrollment in their Triple Advantage credit monitoring service. Experian offers monthly credit reports and subsequently, monthly billing. More, Experian offers a “free” trial which is only free until it becomes a reoccuring monthly membership. Subsequently, if you don’t read the fine print, you are left with another line item on your monthly bills.

Experian undoubtedly is a popular service in the United States, however for whatever reason, many people no longer need to leverage the company's services. For example, perform this Google search: “How to Cancel Experian” and you’ll find dozens of people looking for ways to cancel their Experian account.
