要約
EXPERIAN* CREDITWORKS is Experian's paid credit-monitoring subscription, about $25/month. It usually starts as a trial taken while checking a credit score or after a data-breach scare, then renews monthly.
この表記になる理由
Experian markets paid monitoring aggressively alongside its free offerings, and the line between 'free credit report' and 'premium trial' is easy to cross without noticing. The subscription then bills monthly under this descriptor.

よくある質問
Isn't checking my credit report free?
Reports at annualcreditreport.com are free by law. Experian's paid product adds daily monitoring and alerts — that's what the $24.99 buys, whether or not you meant to buy it.
Dispute Rights & Fraud Prevention
If you suspect this charge is fraudulent or billing in error, you have strict federal rights protecting your account.
Always review your statement carefully and take action within 60 days.
What should I do if I don't recognize this charge?
First, check with family members or anyone authorized on your account. If the charge remains unrecognized, contact your bank immediately to report it. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act (FCBA), you have 60 days from the statement date to dispute unauthorized credit card charges.
How long does it take for a disputed charge to be removed?
Once you file a dispute, your bank must acknowledge it within 30 days and resolve it within two billing cycles (not exceeding 90 days). During this time, the disputed amount is usually placed on a provisional hold, meaning you do not have to pay it.
