Read the fine print if you are considering the new free credit monitoring that paypal and Equifax are now offering. This service is ideal for consumers concerned with identity theft, although there are stipulations many are unaware of.
Part of the “Terms of Use” section provided by Equifax involves the right to change the offer whenever they may feel like it—even if the change involves charging consumers for this free service. This is often the case in free credit watch services—the consumers are lured in with offers of free services, then they are bound to continue the services for a fee. ■
