Like so many people nowadays I have been a victim of someone using my personal details to open various accounts! I reached out to Experian for help, they were absolutely brilliant, they listened to my concerns and offered to help me. After a couple of months they have managed to remove these searches from my account which is fantastic and removed the worry I had.

Room for improvement?

I received email from Experian saying I had an account outstanding but did not tell me which. I was about to conclude a 4yr deal which I did.iI then had a further email saying I had settled at a figure that was different from what I had paid.They said they had contacted the company which I felt was unnecessary as I only wanted to knowthe came of the outstanding contract.This caused confusion over amounts but I left it at what had been agreed.

Hi Trevor,

I'm sorry to hear this caused confusion.

I can understand why it would be frustrating to receive notifications about an outstanding account without being clear on exactly which account was being referred to, especially when you were in the process of bringing matters to a conclusion.

Having looked into your account, I can see that we're currently waiting for the lender's next update. Lenders typically provide updates to us every 6 to 8 weeks, so there can sometimes be a delay between a change being made with the lender and it being reflected on your credit report.

I appreciate that this hasn't been as straightforward as you expected, and thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

Kind regards,

Stefan.

GOOD PEOPLE IN A CORRUPT SYSTEM

The company and people have always been very responsive and good to deal with

However the credit score and credit reference system is wide open to complete corruption. These CRA’s report information given to them by creditors yet there is no system in place at all to prove the information they receive is accurate or even legal

When you question inaccurate data that can ruin your life the only response is ‘ We spoke to the creditor and they say it’s factual ‘

Yet they provide zero evidence it is factual, also CRA’s allow Debt Collectors to access your information without your consent. They do not have to provide the debt is legally enforceable to obtain this data

It’s is a privacy violation and should not be allowed to happen unless the Debt collector proves they have legal standing to chase payment

Basically like everything is a controlled scam, It’s not there to protect or help you at all

The whole system is corrupt

Next day response

Next day response. Understood my query and acted upon it contacting the company I was querying and suggesting a security against fraudulent loan arrangements.
I had a very helpful response which was way above responses I’ve had from other organisations, many of whom don’t even answer your query let alone act on your behalf.

Hi Dave,

It's great to hear that you had such a positive experience with us.

I'm pleased that your query was understood quickly and that action was taken on your behalf by contacting the company involved. It's also good to hear that the additional guidance around protecting yourself from potential fraudulent loan activity was helpful.

We always aim to provide clear and practical support, so it's particularly rewarding to hear that the service you received stood out compared to your experiences elsewhere.

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us.

Best wishes,

Stefan.

Hello, Dolores. I'm sorry to hear about your score drop and appreciate how frustrating this can be. When a company has recorded information incorrectly, we will investigate it with them. As soon as we hear back from the company we will let you know what they've said and any next steps to take, if needed. So you should hear back from us shortly about this. Thanks, Neil.

Fraudulent activity

After somebody searched my credit file resulting in 2 hard searches on my file and opening 2 credit accounts in my name I contacted experian via email and had a quick response from acknowledging email to sorting it within 2 days. The hard searches will be removed on my next month's update.

Beware Experian registration trap

Well, I only wanted to check my credit score. What a ridiculous process this is. Firstly, I was not aware of any cost associated with this until I looked at other reviews. Secondly the registration form does not allow you to reverse the process and delete. I could not get back to the start of the registration process to delete my personal data, and could not get through by telephone to request that my data be deleted. It's a bit of a trap so public please beware.

Hi Gillian,

I'm sorry to hear you've been frustrated by the process.

I can understand why this would be disappointing if you were simply looking to check your credit score and found the registration journey more complicated than expected. It's also understandable to be concerned about your personal information if you felt unable to exit the process or remove your details.

It's worth noting that there is a free Experian account available which allows you to view your Experian credit score and credit report without needing a paid membership. Telephone support is a benefit available with our CreditExpert membership.

Having looked into your account, I can see there is currently an open case, and the team will be in touch with you shortly regarding your concerns.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

Kind regards,

Stefan.
