Along with your free TWR credit report, you will also get a free trial version of Check monitoring. This offer is free for one month only and if you do not cancel before the month is up, you will have to pay $9.95 a month thereafter. Any credit report that requires you to register and give a credit card number is one you should avoid. Unless you are really diligent and do cancel the membership, your TRW free credit report could be costly, rather than free.

The home page of the TRW credit report gives you all the reasons why you need the check monitoring service. Maybe once you read the reasons, you will decide that it is something that you need. However, the main thing is to get a free copy of your credit report. While you can get a free TWR credit report giving you your Experian credit history, Experian, itself, is required to supply you with a free copy once a year when you request it. Why bother with the hassle of the middleman when you can go right to the source?

The TWR credit report will give you the same information about your credit report as any other free online credit reports. Along with your TWR free credit report, if you sign up for a membership, you will get newsletters and toll-free customer support. Do you really need that when all you want is a free TWR credit report? You do have to read the fine print to make sure the TWR free credit report you receive is actually free.

You can get a TRW credit report, but they certainly do try to sell you more than that.
