Banging my head against a brick wall!

In March 2026 my car leasing company Leasys reported that I had missed a months lease payment. This was incorrect all my payments were up to date and paid on time for the 4 years of the car lease.
I had proof this was a mistake. But a marker was put on my credit reference by the FCA and my credit score plummeted, the first time ever. They have also refused to help me put this right, despite seeing proof that the accusation was false.
Eventually Leasys agreed they had made a mistake but still to this day that marker is on all credit agencies in my name and despite being told it was going to be sorted it has not? Many, many emails and messages have been sent. So following a meeting with my solicitor I have decided to take Equifax and the car leasing company to court. I am assured that with all the evidence it is a no brainer. Unfortunately it has negatively effected my health over the 4 months.
So just a warning this company do not care about the customers wellbeing, ‘banging your head against a brick wall’ springs to mind and believe me it hurts!

Baselessly denied a phone contract

I was denied a phone contract due to Equifax failing to register that I am on the Electoral Register (I have documentation from the local council as well as my Experian account confirming this). This information has been forwarded to Equifax and I am still waiting for them to fix this. Their customer service was reasonably helpful explaining the issue but at the end of the day, they've denied service based on easily verifiable faulty data. I'm not impressed.

Somebody incorrectly used my name against an address I have never been to or have any knowledge which has affected my lifelong unblemished and perfect credit score. As a result it has affected my ability to remortgage. Something is wrong with the system as even when the error by a third party has been corrected and it has been acknowledged that this has nothing to do with me… it remains to are t my credit score!

Incorrect information on file - complaint ignored

Tried to log a complaint for incorrect information being held.
First they responded saying call us or give a number for us to call you on, which I refused as I wanted their response in writing.
Their written response then followed days later saying they could see nothing wrong (I had already supplied all the relevant evidence and information in the complaint), and that I should contact the relevant company concerned (already done that they told me to contact Equifax where they got the information from).
So I'm in a pointless cycle that is going nowhere with neither company willing to take ownership.
The issue that Equifax have on my file is not seen as an issue by either Experian or Trans-Union.
Equifax also refuse to accept this, despite me providing them with copies of my reports from both companies that clearly show that neither of them has any issues on my credit report.
My Equifax rating is much lower than my Experian and Trans-Union ratings.
I would say avoid at all costs but unfortunately you have no choice in the matter, you are literally at their mercy and there's very little you can do about it because they don't even take your complaints seriously.
A few days after my complaint with Equifax was marked by them as "resolved" they then took 70 points off my score which then pushed me down a level.

Poorly designed experience. They seem to think free coffee etc will make up for a fundamentally weak core value proposition.

Good but app integration is frustrating

A comprehensive look into your credit history well worth paying for a subscription even only for a short period to gain a good personal insight to your fiances. Only grumble would be it seems app is underdeveloped as if you wish to view credit file from app it redirects you to website and you have to go through log in process again. A minor gripe but begs the question why can't it be completely integrated especially as you are encouraged to download and view via app, therefore that's why I knocked the review point down from 5 to 4 stars

Hi Bart,

Thank you for taking the time to leave us some comments.

It looks like you believe some of the information on your report to be incorrect. This information is supplied to us by your provider and we can help you correct the information by using the data dispute process. As we don't own the data, we'll manage the dispute with the data supplier on your behalf. Once the dispute has been raised, the company has 21 days to respond to it. While this is happening, we'll add a note to your Equifax Credit Report so that any organisations looking at it are aware that the information is under dispute. If you prefer, you can get in touch with the company directly and ask for changes to be made at the earliest opportunity. If you are successful, you can ask the company to ensure records are updated at Equifax and any other Credit Reference Agencies as soon as possible.

Please feel free to get in touch with us using our Online Help page, we are keen to assist in any way we can.

Kind regards,
The Equifax Team

detailed complaint…got a template response

I provided a detailed complaint together with supporting documentation clearly demonstrating multiple inaccuracies on my credit file, including an incorrect current address, missing active credit accounts and other reporting discrepancies. Despite this, I received what appeared to be a generic template response that failed to address the specific issues I had raised.

My previous complaint on the same matter was also marked as resolved, yet the problems remained. I have now had to raise the issue again and provide the same evidence for a second time.

The customer service team has repeatedly failed to properly investigate or correct the inaccuracies on my credit file, despite being provided with clear supporting documentation. As someone preparing for a future mortgage application, I expect a credit reference agency to maintain accurate records and to investigate legitimate concerns thoroughly, rather than sending standard responses that do not address the complaint.

I sincerely hope my complaint is now reviewed by someone who will fully investigate the evidence provided and ensure my credit file accurately reflects my personal information.

Quick, but inaccurate and unhelpful

It was quick and easy to set up my Equifax account. But the information they gave me about old motor finance deals was inaccurate. They identified one former deal at a time when I know I had none, and failed to identify the only real motor finance deal I’ve ever had. Their responses to my queries were very unhelpful and did not resolve the issue. I feel that after using their service I actually know slightly less than I did beforehand, instead of more.
