Overall Rating: 3.9 / 5 (Very good)

MyScore's lack of transparency about its ownership and plan pricing makes it difficult to evaluate. The company simply does not give consumers information needed to make an informed purchase. Its disappointing BBB rating stems, in part, from repeated complaints that its services are very difficult to cancel and its representatives are impossible to reach by phone. The company offers credit monitoring and reporting like its competitors, but provides few other credit-related tools and services. At $39.90 per month, its charges appear higher than average and include unrelated perks consumers may not need. All these concerns paint a picture of a company that offers bare-bones service for a high price and attempts to justify that price by offering consumers products completely unrelated to credit reporting.

MyScore Plans & Pricing

Plans and Pricing - 3.5 / 5

The company offers a free seven-day trial membership. After that, MyScore charges $39.90 per month for its credit reporting services, which oddly include "roadside assistance." It is unclear from the company's website which of its three plans this fee pays for. It is definitely higher than its competitors' fees.

MyScore Reputation & Support

Monitoring and Extra Features - 4.3 / 5

MyScore does not disclose its ownership by Golden Scores on its website. Nor does it state how much its services cost until after a prospective customer has entered in his or her personal information. This lack of transparency is troubling and may make some consumers think twice. The firm's B- rating from the BBB is based on a pattern of complaints about allegedly unauthorized deductions from consumer bank accounts, recurring monthly fees that are difficult or impossible to cancel, and the difficulty customers have trying to communicate with the company. The company does not have a TrustPilot entry. MyScore also markets a number of unrelated goods and services, such as grocery coupons, discount phone service, roadside assistance, travel services, and magazine subscriptions. This may give some customers the impression that the company is simply selling whatever it can rather than focusing on one core service.
