Partly locked unless you subscribe

Hate the way parts of my credit report are locked unless I subscribe to you. Other platforms are free to use. You just seem to want to make more money from people.

Hi Paul,

I'm sorry to hear you feel this way.

I can understand your frustration if you feel that parts of the service are restricted unless you take out a subscription, especially when you can access credit information through other providers.

You can still access your Experian credit report and score with a free Experian account, and you're also entitled to request a statutory credit report free of charge. Some additional features and insights are included as part of our paid memberships, but we appreciate that these won't be the right fit for everyone.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

Kind regards,

Stefan.

Helps keep me on track financially

Experian gives me the confidence to know I'm on the right track financially, and doing all I can to keep my credit score healthy. The app is simple to use (I use the free version) and I highly recommend it.

The Experian website makes it very easy…

The Experian website makes it very easy to see if you can gain access to credit based on your credit score. I especially liked the Guaranteed Amount feature, which showed upfront how much I could borrow on a credit card.

Hi Ali,

I'm sorry to hear you're disappointed with your experience.

I can understand how frustrating it would be to see a hard search that you don't recognise and then feel that the issue hasn't been resolved as quickly as you expected, particularly when you're concerned about the impact on your credit score.

While we can help investigate disputed searches and raise queries with the organisation that recorded them, we can't remove information from a credit report without the agreement of the company that carried out the search. If they confirm that a search should be removed, we'll update our records as soon as we receive their instructions.

I appreciate that this may not be the outcome you were hoping for, and I'm sorry that you've been left feeling let down by the process.

Kind regards,

Stefan.

I was/am the victim of fraud

I was/am the victim of fraud- as two accounts were opened in my name , without my knowledge. This led to some embarassment and concern, but Experians agents were quickly onto my issue and it appears to be under control .
I was impressed.

Hello, Arthur.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience.

I'm so sorry to hear you've been the victim of fraud. I completely understand how upsetting and worrying that experience can be, and the stress and uncertainty it can cause. I'm pleased we were able to resolve the issue quickly and provide some reassurance during what must have been a difficult time.

Thank you for your patience throughout the process, and I'm glad we've been able to help put your mind at ease. Don't hesitate to contact us if you need future support.

I hope we continue to impress, Claire.
