I have been getting emails telling me about free credit monitoring with Paypal, but I am leary about hooking my credit to Equifax:

I'd be leary of anything involving PayJoke. However, I have had no problems with the EQ CWG monitoring and I also have the ScoreWatch product.

EX I can get on a daily basis through the back entrance. TU has a thoroughly eff'ed up system that does not like to grant me direct access even through they have verified my information on multiple occasions. As a result, I sometimes break down and buy the EQ 3:1 product. However, it is also easier to simply avoid applying for anything that uses TU...

I haven't had any problems with PP, although I've heard stories.

I've heard lots of stories, so I never used PayPal.
