Quicken-branded Screen at ConsumerInfo.com Takes Different Approach

Privately held ConsumerInfo.com joins QSpace in delivering Experian credit reports on the Web. While QSpace is offering instant access, ConsumerInfo.com requires users to wait for an access code delivered via snail mail. Pricing is also quite different with ConsumerInfo.com pitching a $49.95 per year subscription with unlimited credit report access with subsequent years automatically billed to your credit card until you say stop. QSpace is charging $5-8 per transaction but is working on a similar subscription option. ConsumerInfo.com also sells First American CREDCO’s “3-agency”

ConsumerInfo.com pitches free credit reports and 30 days of free credit monitoring on its own Web.

The Quicken-branded screen at ConsumerInfo.com takes a slightly different approach with two options: subscripton service or a one-time mergerd credit report.

(a.k.a. “merged”) credit reports for $34.95 each www.firstam.com/credco

ConsumerInfo.com also hosts Quicken’s free credit report program on a private-branded basis. Users entering ConsumerInfo.com through its Quicken arrangement see co-branded screens (above) and a slightly lower price (see table). ConsumerInfo.com, a privately held firm located in Orange, CA, was formed two years ago by former TRW executives. On April 27, MemberWorks Inc. (NASDAQ:MBRS) announced a strategic investment in ConsumerInfo.com which includes an option to acquire the company.
