Hello, Douglas. Thanks for trying our service and your 5 star review! Thanks, Neil.
£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.

Hello,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I'm sorry to hear about the frustration this has caused, especially after you'd already been advised that the information was incorrect and had been updated.
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,
Stefan.

Hello, Paticia. Thanks for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear of your issue with the search. You should be able to view any hard searches on your credit report itself, which you can access via the app. If you need help locating this please get in touch via the app or our "Contact us" page. Thanks, Neil.
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.

I gave that score because I don't really bother with my rating going up and down I just look at the time and the service seems to be OK at the time i would prefer if company would let you know what there prepared to give and mine always seemed the same every time it never gets any higher

EXPERIAN ARE JUST EXTORTIONISTS
OK. EXPERIAN KNOW BETTER. I SWITCHED TO PLUSNET BACK IN DECEMBER 2019. AS YOU WILL KNOW, PLUSNET DO A SWITCH SERVICE. THEY INFORMED VIRGIN I HAD MOVED OVER TO THEM. VIRGIN CARRIED ON TAKING PAYMENTS UNTIL I STOPPED MY DIRECT DEBIT.INCIDENTALLY, THEY TOOK FEBRUARY'S PAYMENT. IT WASN'T UNTIL OCTOBER, THEY ACKNOWLEDGED I HAD LEFT THEM. BUT EXPERIAN HAD ALL THIS INFORMATION. BUT IT'S EASIER TO BACK THE COMPANY WHO'S PAYING YOU. CHECK YOUR INFORMATION AND THEN CALL ME A LIAR...

Hi, Nik.
I'm sorry to hear how frustrating this situation has been for you.
From your review, it's clear you feel that the information surrounding your switch from Virgin Media to Plusnet wasn't taken into account, and that you've been left feeling unheard throughout the process. I can understand why that would be upsetting, especially when you believe you did everything correctly and expected records to reflect that.
I also want to reassure you that Experian doesn't receive payment from companies to favour their version of events, nor do we determine how lenders and service providers report information. We display information supplied by those organisations and, where concerns are raised, work with them to investigate the accuracy of the data being reported.
Having personally reviewed your account, I've also sent you an email outlining the account in question and the relevant timeframes involved regarding the account's removal from your credit report. I hope this helps provide some additional clarity around the information that was considered.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience.
Kind regards,
Stefan.
