First unauthorized charge on my credit card

Freecreditreport.com claim to give free credit reports to people.
They do, btw they also sign you up for their "CIC TripleAdvantage". On their website, they does, in fact states to read the free report, they will sign you up for "CIC TripleAdvantage", but it's so hidden it's hard to notice.
I bet they must hired ninjas to teach them the art of disguise.

Technically, it's not an unauthorized charge, but it's deceptive advertising.


In the end it says "offer applies with enrollment in TripleAdvantage." Great, it's so loud and clear spoken that people use English as 2nd language can catch that.

I'm not surprised I'm paying for something I never knew I signed up.

Mgccl: Money was taken from my credit card unauthorized.

brain5ide: heh, Mgccl, I give you an advice - no more online porn
Mgccl: lol, they said it was free1
brain5ide: ok... what kind of idiot you must be to loose your CC info for a website with a word free in it's domain name
Mgccl: it had tv advertising. it's a huge company. FTC had fined it over 15 million dollars. Over 20 million idiots had become one of their prey.
Mgccl: anyway. this is an opportunity to show MIT that I'm capable of taking legal actions

Yeah, this is America.

Guess it's going to be a long battle, I'm going to get my money back and of cause, make the issue so big, they will be facing legal issues, and maybe even publish an commentary on my school newspaper. I don't mind the amount of work in the process.

I need to prepare a sheet of what I'm going to say to w/e the customer's response are, because I can't talk and think at the same time.[Epic Fail for me]

If you have the same problem, this place has the best resource.

  1. 1. I never did or will sign up for any online porn, period.

Since when has taking legal action been considered as part of an MIT application?

Dear Mr Admissions Tutor.

I think that you should accept me into your university because I took a company to court for stealing my money.

Thanks

it's just a tip of an iceberg of what I'm going to put in admission. This thing will only take up one line. College wants to know everything. I will show myself in my brightest light. Anything sound like a good experience is useful.
