Hi Mitch,
I'm sorry to hear you feel that way.

I can understand why it would be frustrating if you feel you're not getting enough information from the service without paying for additional features.

Having reviewed your account, I can see you're using our free Experian membership. With a free account, you can access your Experian credit report and score at no cost, along with information about the factors that may be affecting your score.

Some additional features and insights are available as part of our paid services, but we appreciate these won't be right for everyone.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

Kind regards,
Stefan.

Your kind support makes a positive difference

You are very supportive in that you took time out to address the concerns highlighted and carried out an investigation into the matter. Your response made me feel better just knowing someone cared to take timeout to support me.

Poor Customer Service

Unfortunately Experian is currently charging me for a Credit Expert service which I cannot access. I also cannot find any easy way of contacting Experian via their App or website other than writing to them at their postal address. There is no customer service number. This is very poor.
Update 28 July: And I have now received an equally poor response to the review I left on 24 July. Dear Experian, I know my account says it is free - the problem is you appear to be charging me £14.99 monthly for it. And if I could actually find the form you so helpfully mention but don’t link in your reply, I would contact you that way. Simply awful service.

Hi SD,

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

I can understand how frustrating it can be when you're looking for support and feel it's difficult to find the right way to get in touch.

Having reviewed your account, I can see that you're using a free Experian membership. Telephone support is currently only available to CreditExpert members. However, if you believe something on your report is incorrect, you can contact us by submitting a query through our online web form, and we'll be happy to look into it for you.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us.

Kind regards,
Stefan.

I Don't believe in Credit scoring🤬

I've said this before, I Don't believe in Points scoring with the 3 , this happened because of the UK bailing out the freaking banks! If that hadn't happened we would Not need Unfair Credit Scoring! 🤬

Hi Andy,

Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

I can see this is something you feel strongly about, and I appreciate that not everyone agrees with the way credit scoring works. It can be frustrating if you feel a number or rating doesn't accurately reflect your financial situation or how you manage your money.

While credit scores are designed to help give an indication of a person's creditworthiness, lenders will usually look at a range of information when making decisions rather than relying solely on a score.

We appreciate your feedback and your perspective on the credit scoring system.

Take care,

Stefan.
