Hello, Rizwan.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. I'm sorry to hear you're concerned about your Experian Credit Score decreasing.
A change in your score is usually linked to changes on your credit report, although it can also be influenced by our updated scoring system. The way banks and lenders make decisions has evolved over time, so our score has evolved too. It better reflects how you're managing your finances today and how lenders assess the information on your credit report.
It's also worth noting that lenders do not see your Experian Credit Score. They see the information held on your credit report and use their own lending criteria and scoring systems when making decisions.
Thank you for sharing your feedback.
Thanks, Stefan.

Before I had a score of 999. Now I have a score 12!!, and cannot find the reason for the drop.
Why can't you have a phone number for customer service, instead of changing me

Hello Martin,

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. I'm sorry to hear you're not getting on with the new look of the website and that the changes to your score have caused concern.

I've looked into your account and can see that your score has actually increased and is not currently showing as 12. I appreciate the new scoring system can take some getting used to, especially if you were familiar with the previous 999 scale.

The way banks and lenders make decisions has evolved over time, so our score has evolved too. The updated score is designed to better reflect how you're managing your finances today and how lenders assess the information on your credit report.

I also understand your frustration regarding phone support. Phone support is available as a benefit of our CreditExpert membership, while all customers can contact us through our online support channels and webforms for assistance with their account and credit report.

Thank you again for sharing your thoughts with us.

Thanks, Stefan.
