All you have to do is be responsible enough to remember to cancel the free trial before the 7 days are up. If you can't be responsible and remember to do that, then I don't think your ever going to be able to handle the responsibilities of getting out of debt.

Everyone should get a free credit report every year, even if you think your score doesn't matter at the time. Better safe than sorry!

It's longer between updates, (Credit Karma is every 30 days, Quizzle is 6 months or 1x per year, can't remember which). It would have been nice to know what size mortgage those rates and payments equate to Quizzle.com is Experian’s equivalent.

I like this comparison, I didn't think the difference would be more than a couple bucks a month between 750 and 760. Fascinating.
