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.

Hello Ihinosen,
Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. I'm sorry to hear that you felt the response you received was generic and didn't address the specific circumstances of your query.
I can confirm that we've raised a query regarding the information in question and are currently awaiting a response from the company involved. As the information belongs to the lender, only they can amend it or instruct us to make changes on their behalf. As soon as we receive a response, we'll act on any instructions provided and update our records where appropriate.
I appreciate your patience while this is being investigated, and thank you for sharing your experience with us.
Thanks,
Stefan.

£15 for something that the other 2 agencies give for free...?

Asked for an amendment to an account that was missing corrected data (a missed payment marker, where there shouldn't be).

Experian and the business in question both agreed quickly that the data was wrong. Got an email from Experian confirming that the update would show on my report within 24 hours. We're now several days later, and the update still hasn't appeared, and is affecting my score considerably.

This, from the **only** UK credit reference agency who wants £15 a month for insights into such insights... information that the other two agencies will give you for free.

To be clear; Experian invited me to review them, so here's my honest feedback.

I've sent you an email with further information about your specific situation, which I hope helps provide some clarity and reassurance.

Thank you again for your feedback.

Thanks,

They refuse to fix errors on your record

When I identified an error, they were very quick to wash their hands of it, instead of investigate as to why it occurred.
I also feel that they are using their monopoly in the credit scoring field to force a subscription on you (you can't get full access to your credit report, such as why its gone up or down, without paying). Plus they constantly force adverts for new credit cards and loans on you.

Hello Guy,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I'm sorry to hear you were disappointed with your experience.

If you've identified information that you believe is incorrect, we can investigate this with the organisation that supplied the data. As lenders and other providers own the information they report to us, any amendments need to be confirmed by them before changes can be made to your credit report.

I also appreciate your comments regarding subscriptions. Your Experian Credit Report and Experian Credit Score can be viewed through our free membership, while some additional insights and tools are included as part of our paid services for customers who would like more detailed information.

In relation to credit cards and loan offers, these can be managed through your messaging settings if you'd prefer to receive fewer of these suggestions.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us.

Thanks, Stefan.
