Any of the services where you are asked to sign up for can usually be cancelled at the end of the trial period. However remembering to do so is not always that easy, and that's exactly what they count on. If you forget to cancel, they are going to charge you their monthly fee, until you remember to do so.

Besides, if you are required to sign up for a service in order to get your free credit report there's really nothing free about it is there? A good rule of thumb is this: if you must provide your credit card number, it's not free.

It would benefit you more if you obtained your free annual credit report and then paid for a service that showed you needed to do to improve your credit score. That's far better use of your money and you are also not being deceived.

Once you receive your free credit report, you should go over it carefully looking for errors. You might be surprised to learn that more than 40% of all credit reports contain errors that directly affect ones credit score. If you find errors on your credit report, it's important to clear them up as soon as possible. When was the last time you reviewed your credit report?

It's a common mistake to believe that those reporting to the credit bureaus are ensuring what they report is accurate. It's also a mistake to think the credit bureaus take every precaution to make sure what they record and what they report is accurate. It's simply not the case. As a result, your credit score could be lower than it should be making it more difficult for you to borrow money at an affordable rate.

Once you have corrected any errors, there are many other things you can do in order to improve your overall credit score. The higher your credit score the easier it is to borrow money and the lower the interest rate you pay will be. There are services that can show you how to improve your credit score so that you can borrow much easier.

The next time you see someone advertising a free credit report, remember you are allowed an annual credit report for free, without ever having to sign up for any service or provide your credit card information.
