Experian sloped their shoulders with my particular request and there was no resolution. Instead, they blamed a 3rd party.

Hi Kev,

I'm sorry to hear you feel this way.

I can understand why you'd be disappointed if you feel your concerns haven't been resolved and that responsibility has been passed elsewhere. When you're looking for answers, it's important to feel that your issue is being properly investigated.

Having looked into your account, I can see that your case is currently under investigation, and we'll be in touch as soon as we have an outcome.

It's also important to note that the information on your credit report belongs to the lender that supplies it. We can't amend or remove that data without their permission. However, we will happily process any updates as soon as we receive them. Lenders typically provide updates every 6 to 8 weeks, so there can sometimes be a delay before changes are reflected on a credit report.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

Kind regards,

Stefan.

Why do I have to ask for a receipt/invoice every month

My actual experience with Experience has always been, and continues to be spot on.
My only issue is that every month I have to ask for an invoice/receipt to which they send it through the mail, which seems rather wasteful (and a job I shouldn't really have to do)
Would it not be possible to simply be able to see your receipts on your account, electronically?
Is this not an ISO14001 compliance matter also?

Reply from Experian

Hi Paul,

I'm sorry to hear you've been having difficulties accessing your business details.

I can understand how frustrating it is when you're trying to obtain information and feel like you're being sent around in circles. When you're looking for a straightforward answer, an administrative loop can quickly become time-consuming and frustrating.

It's also worth noting that your personal Experian credit report is separate from a business credit report, and the teams and processes involved can differ depending on the type of information you're trying to access.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry that your experience hasn't been as straightforward as it should have been.

Kind regards,

Stefan.

Reports

The platform maintains a lot of static historical inconsistent and inaccurate information.There seems to be a lack of due diligence on financial reporting which results in a subjective credit profile depending on the demography.
