Are credit report monitoring monthly recurring fees tax deductible? if not I think it for 2 reasons 1 and foremost because all the money in the banks is insured by the government so if any of it gets stolen as a result of fraud the tax payers have to pay for it so there government might as well make a 15 dollar per month tax break for people with credit monitoring . 2nd I think it's a rip off in the first place to pay someone to tell me what the banks think of me.

Thanks!

Why are my Equifax scores different from different credit monitoring services? I signed up for www.myfico.com, Bank of America's privacy assist, and www.privacymatters123.com today within 1/2 an hour of each other. They are all showing different Equifax scores varying by about 25 points. Why is there a difference and which monitoring company should I trust is reporting the correct score? I know they change day to day and I know they only report a snapshot score that will not immediately update, but this information was obtained within 30 minutes. Is one company more accurate than another or are these monitoring companies just a scam?

Credit monitoring discrepancy? I have been a long-time member of myfico.com credit monitoring (sponsored by equifax). They monitor my equifax score, and report it as being 626. For giggles I joined truecredit.com (sponsored by TransUnion), and got their 3-1 score monitoring service. They show my TransUnion score and Experian score as 636 and 633 respectively, but show my Equifax score as 559. I was wondering if anyone can explain the vast discrepancy between what truecredit.com reports my Equifax score being (559), and what myfico (sponsored by equifax) reports my Equifax score as being (626)?

Need good credit report monitoring company.? Years ago, one major credit company (TRW) used to have a sideline business of offering a monthly credit report monitoring service, part of that service, they would automatically notify you if there has ever been a hard-pull on your credit report and by who. Now that there are numerous credit report monitoring services out there, yet I do not see any that offer this feature/service. So does anyone know of a company that offers this service? Though I currently have a credit report monitoring service, I am not necessarily notified if a hard-pull on my report has occurred. With the ease of someone being able to order credit reports off of the Internet and identity theft being on the rise, I just want to make sure I know whenever a hard-pull is done on my credit report. Wilson Thanks Mefuture, Upon looking at the Gofreecredit site, I am now just wondering would they notify me if someone were to get online and tried to order my credit report under my name? Mainly I am looking to get notified if someone goes online and orders my credit report, yet it does not appear that the Gofreecredit service would notify me in this event. Wilson Thanks Spiffy. I appreciate your input. Wilson
