I inadvertently enrolled in "scoresense.com" where you can check your credit rating. You can check your credit rating for free on multiple sites, so I'm not even sure how I did this. But, I had a $1 enrollment fee on my September credit card statement and an additional $29.00 fee for the August monthly fee. Why would anyone want to pay $30/month to check their credit report? These people must get everyone at least one time. I suppose it pays off for them... I called to have these charges removed from my credit card, stating I had no idea I even enrolled in anything. They did reverse the $1 but denied the $29.00 fee. I will be calling my credit card company to attempt to have the charge removed by them. BEWARE. At the very least you'll waste time getting rid of their erroneous charge. But, you may get dinged for $29.00 - this kind of company should be illegal. They seem to have my social security number too - very disturbing. Did I give it to them?! I think their site popped up when I was looking at something my bank or credit company sent me. I wish I could remember how I got introduced to their site in the first place, so I could file a report with the Consumer Protection Agency.

I made a reservation online thinking I was dealing directly with the hotel, but surprise, I was dealing with reservations.com. Additionally, I was also dealing with booking.com - no bargains here - only several different entities lined up for additional price gouging. A very expensive hotel room in Iowa and an additional $14.99 fee from reservations.com for their "service" of gouging me. It's not easy to deal directly with a hotel through the internet by the time you are redirected through all the clever websites out there. In the future I will call the hotel directly. I suggest you do the same.
