American Express is a federally registered trademark. Experian is a federally registered trademark of Experian Information Solutions, Inc. ConsumerInfo.com, Inc. is licensed to use the Experian trademark.

FCRA DISCLOSURES
The Federal Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) allows you to obtain all of the information in your consumer credit file disclosure from any consumer credit reporting company for a reasonable charge. The FCRA also states that you are entitled to receive a disclosure directly from the consumer credit reporting company free of charge under the following circumstances:
- You have been denied credit, insurance or employment in the past 60 days as a result of your report
- You certify in writing that you are unemployed and intend to apply for employment in the 60-day period beginning on the day you make the certification
- You are a recipient of public welfare assistance
- You have reason to believe that your file at the credit reporting company contains inaccurate information due to fraud

The FCRA also permits you to dispute inaccurate information in your credit report without charge. Accurate information cannot be changed. You do not have to purchase your credit report or other information from American Express and Provider to dispute inaccurate or incomplete information in your credit file or to receive a copy of your consumer credit report. Beginning December 1, 2004, the FCRA allows consumers to get one free comprehensive disclosure of all of the information in their credit file from each of the three national credit reporting companies once every 12 months through a central source. Georgia residents can receive two disclosures per year. To request your free annual report under the FCRA, you must go to www.annualcreditreport.com. The Product is not related to the free FCRA disclosure that you are or may be entitled to.

The credit report that you are requesting from American Express and Provider is not intended to constitute the disclosure of Experian information required by the FCRA or similar state laws. Experian’s National Consumer Assistance Center provides a proprietary consumer disclosure that is different from the consumer credit report provided by ConsumerInfo.com, Inc. This disclosure report must be obtained directly from Experian by going to www.experian.com/dispute.

Special note regarding the Product: Although comprehensive, the Product that is available from the third party service provider may not have the same information as a credit report obtained directly from a national credit reporting company or through the central source. In addition, the My Credit Score & Report Product offered to consumers is not related to the free annual FCRA disclosure that you are entitled to.

MODIFICATION OF PRODUCTS
American Express or Provider may, at their discretion, modify or discontinue the Product (or a portion thereof), with or without notice. You agree that American Express and Provider will not be liable to you or any third party for any modification or discontinuance of the Product.

NOTICE OF PROSECUTION
Failure to comply with the FCRA can result in state or federal enforcement actions, as well as private lawsuits. In addition, any person who knowingly and willfully obtains a consumer report under false pretenses may face criminal prosecution.


PRODUCT-SPECIFIC TERMS AND CONDITIONS

In addition to the terms and conditions listed above, the terms explained below are product specific and apply to the particular product indicated.

Registering for any Product:
To request a credit report or score, you must complete an online registration form, have an address within the United States, provide a valid Social Security number and agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions. We will then evaluate your complete registration information and provide access to the Product. Joint registration for married couples cannot be accepted or processed.

• You may access your credit report and PLUS credit score for 30 days from the first access date.

• For your protection, if you are inactive (have not clicked on an item or refreshed the page) for a period of 20 minutes or more when viewing your credit report and/or PLUS credit score online, your session will conclude and you will be logged out.

Disclaimers: You acknowledge that the information provided to you through the My Credit Score & Report Product , including the PLUS score factors derived from the elements in your credit history, may change over time as your credit history changes.

Yes I'm sure, see my previous post. You appear to be looking at Credit Secure, which is why there is a cost associated with it. Credit Secure is what they would wish for you to purchase at the end of your FREE 30-day trial period of this offer. If you're still hesitant why not call 888-771-4452 and get reassurances?

As Abaliga above noted, make sure you begin on the correct link:

The AMEX Free report and Score is from Experian Only. You need to sign up for the Credit Secure trial to get the merged Score and Reports from Equifax/Transunion.

I have my Home Depot charge card showing up as "Key Derogatory" for the past 3 months. I only used this card once and I paid it off in full in June of 2007. I was 1.5 month late to pay it because I forgot all about it as I only used it once, but I did pay it in full in 2007. It also shows as a 0 balance. My credit score is now 650!!! What is going on? This card is in my drawer for almost 2 years with no activity. Why is it showing up as "Key Derogatory" for the past 3 months? I paid it in full almost 2 years ago. How do I dispute this?

Also, my previous address listed is wrong and my current employer listed is wrong.

Clicking on dispute and going through experian's website shows this:

Balance History:
02/2009 $0
01/2009 $0
12/2008 $0
11/2008 $0
10/2008 $0
09/2008 $0
08/2008 $0
07/2008 $0
06/2008 $0
05/2008 $0
04/2008 $0
02/2008 $0
01/2008 $0
12/2007 $0
11/2007 $0
10/2007 $0
09/2007 $195
08/2007 $162
07/2007 $129

I had 2 months of late payment charges and then I paid it in full, however, AMEX's Free Credit Report shows that the past 3 months have been "key derogatory".
