Well certainly not at the free credit report sites that you see advertised.  I tried to check some local sites in Fargo-Moorhead but nothing there either.  Thank goodness I have a bank that provides me with any type of information on my credit score, credit history, or anything else I might want to know.  I don’t need to be messing around with these goofy sites that promise you free stuff and then automatically subscribe you to another type of program that if you don’t want to pay for that you will have to remember to cancel after you get your free information.  How ridiculous!  If it’s free, it should be free.

I asked a few friends of mine if they were able to get this information from their banks and a couple acted like they couldn’t – not sure if they had actually tried or not – but then I realized that I probably had an extraordinary bank that I had accounts at and that provided their customers with the best possible service for everything.

Now I have to admit that the only way I knew this was that I fell for the advertisement and it happened to me.  I learned about the good services at my bank after the fact.  I had no idea that a person could advertise something as important as this and then not deliver.  Naïve, I guess so.  Anyway, don’t be foolish like me and fall for this stuff.  Check with your bank first and if they don’t provide this information then I would suggest changing banks because there is at least one that I know does – mine – and I’m sure there are others.

In this economy a person can’t afford to lose a penny on something so stupid.  Well that’s my 2 cents for today – I hope it helped someone out there.
