Why did the free credit check ask me for a credit card number?

bennie asked:


I need a credit check on myself. I have done this in the past, and never needed a credit card number. I have never given a credit card number without being charged.
Does anyone know of a free credit check without giving a credit card number?

    Because it is not free. There is only one free report as mandated by the government.

    because it is not free.I think you can call equafax and get one free credit check a year then you have to pay after the free one.

    Because they usually sign you up for a free monthly trial of something, then if you forget to cancel it, they will bill you for a monthy service. It is a scam. There are no free credit reports w/o a catch online, but you can request a free credit report once a year for free no catches. They will, however, mail it to you in paper form.
