Wasted $150 on a credit monitoring service that did nothing for me

Signed up for one of those fancy credit monitoring plans back in January cause I was worried about identity theft after a data breach at my bank. Paid $50 a month for 3 months before I realized all the alerts were stuff I already knew about from free credit karma and my bank's own alerts. Called to cancel and they tried to give me the runaround. Just stick with the free stuff people.

Right? It's like paying a gym membership for a treadmill you already have in your basement (just with more hassle to cancel).

Got burned the same way last year, those services are total scams.
