[net.consumers] By the Way, How To Find Out about M

They've been ballyhooing something from TRW around here called "Credentials
Service" or some such.  From what I've been able to gather from ads and
radio/tv reports (I haven't checked with TRW) here's the deal:
For a yearly fee ($30-40, I think) they send you a copy of their idea
of your credit history and (I think this is the neat part but haven't
seen it advertised) they also tell you whenever somebody is running a
check on you or requesting an addition to your record.  They also give
you some kind of ID number which is supposed to help you get loans and
stuff.  Anybody else heard more about this?
