Looking at 97 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Customers frequently report significant difficulties contacting the company, often facing long hold times and being transferred repeatedly without resolution. Many people found the customer service staff unhelpful, noting issues with communication due to strong accents and a tendency to stick to scripts rather than addressing specific concerns. This led to frustration with slow processes and inaccurate information. Some people were dissatisfied with the lack of effective communication channels beyond phone calls, noting that chat support was unresponsive and emails to management often went unanswered. Reviewers also experienced issues with follow-ups, including unreturned supervisor calls and processes that continually extended resolution times.

My data got breached trying to freeze all three credit bureaus had success with two of them no problem. TransUnion is just being ridiculous. I filled out everything correctly, but it says it cannot verify my identity. It’s the same information I used with the other two, My data has been leaked yet I can’t freeze my credit with Trans Union. It’s impossible to get help, you can leave leave your number to keep your place in line, but it doesn’t work. Trans Union has issues worst customer service.

My disappointment with this "service"…

My disappointment with this service runs deep. Right from the beginning, the information they provided was inaccurate and misleading; it felt like a bait-and-switch tactic. When I tried to cancel my membership, I couldn't find any option on their website—it’s almost as if they don't want you to leave! Instead of an efficient process for cancellation, I'm now left dealing with having to phone one of their salespeople who wants to debate instead of resolving my issue amicably. After reviewing dozens of negative reviews, someone shared a link where you can cancel online, but this is completely hidden on their website. This amount of hassle is unacceptable and has soured my entire perception of them as a company. I regret signing up in the first place and will be telling my bank never to recommend them again.

Time for Americans to start a class action suit against all these agencies for holding the average working people back the ignorance of paying your bills and loosing 59 points and IF you miss a payment loose 39 points but after 6 months get back 9 points they need to be investigated and regulated!!!!

Complete joke

Complete joke. Removed an account from my file and made my score go down substantially. Told me they didn't. LOL I am holding in my hand the document that tells me they did. Asked to speak to a manager or higher level of support (support person Lucy was messaging someone to help me and was fairly rude), and was told I could not. Then she hung up. And you want me to pay for your service? Yeah, no.

Terrible company. Processes are long and archaic. Call centre rep was rude and arrogant. Not customer focused at all - everything is setup to be easy for them and hard for the customer

Worst customer service experience ever

Worst customer service experience ever. I got charged for a premium account without ever receiving a prompt to let me know I was signing up for a paid account. After the first charge I called to get the account cancelled, which they obliged and said I should se the refund in 3-5 business days. A month later, with no refund, I receive another charge. After calling in and being redirected to a half-dozen different departments, I was FINALLY able to get the account deactivated, and they said the refund would be processed in 3-5 business days. A week later, after still not seeing either refund, I spent 2 hrs being transferred from department to department, only to be told that because the account was now deactivated they couldn't process anything with it, and I needed to email their fulfillment center. And of course, i got the same run around from them. A truly terrible experience, I will never use them again and advise anyone against doing so.

incompetent service

This department is absolutely difunctional. I wanted to print a credit report to check my credit score. I spent 2 hours on the phone with people from India who had no clue what they did. All emails that have been sent to me were delayed as they were coming from India. I tried to enter computer generated codes but not knowing that I will need to enter the code twice and each time it will be a different number. To my disbelief the 2nd. code arrived 8 minutes later. I did not know that this was taking so much time and meanwhile my access to the account had been locked. It is very frustrating. I am still willing to try one more time and see if I have any chance. They should be shut down for their incompetency and errors created on people's profile.

Absolutely horrible service

Absolutely horrible service. We have a subscription with them at our office but they consistently do not response when we need updates to the account but are on the ball for asking for payments. HM. They want us to pay but they don't provide proper service. I'm not even asking for a reply within 24 hours. Heck even give me 48 hours, that's fine but they will reply only after several attempts to contact them and at a months time. Horrible service. I can't believe they're traded publicly.

Incorrect information on my report

I noticed that my credit card account was listed as closed on my credit report; I disputed this, telling them it was an active, open account. Their response was to delete the credit card entirely! My credit score dropped significantly because of this, and since the card no longer appears on my report, I can't even dispute it again! Customer service refused to rectify the situation, very unhelpful.

They charged my credit card $28 and locked my account. I can't access it to get the credit report nor obtain a copy of it .I called the customer service and found my account and sent me a new temporary code which I used and then the account was locked again after using the code. It is so frustrating because I have been trying to get the report for two days without any luck. Now, I don't even know how to cancel it as I don't want them to charge my credit card.

Awful customer service

Awful customer service! I was shocked that a company managing the credit process is so unprofessional and not very knowledgeable. The person I spoke to could not answer my questions and would respond with answers that had nothing to do with my questions. The person did not listen to what I was saying; it was like talking to a bot. The second time I called, the person had a slight attitude as I was asking for clarification, and he kept responding, saying his message was clear as if he didn't want to put in the effort to explain further.
I also tried to create a dispute on their website; it took me an hour, and they wouldn't let me submit it. I used the online chat, and the person said they could not help me and that I had to call. When I called, the person had no information and didn't understand what had happened. I had to explain the situation three times, but I don't think he was listening. Overall, this company has been horrendous to deal with. If this is the common way they deal with consumers, it might be wise to improve their processes and procedures to be more professional, supportive and helpful, especially for something so important as a credit score. I would consider this a very poor effort to help the consumer and negligence as a business with a duty to help people with their credit score.

Avoid!!!

I even didn't complete my registration because of the error "Online Identity Verification System Temporarily Unavailable", but was immediately charged by 28 CAD! I was not going to pay for any reports, just wanted to explore this platform! Now I even cannot remove my credit cart from the platform!!!

Good experience with customer service today. I needed an error correction on my credit report. The agent made the correction quickly and was very helpful. Short wait on the phone call. So different from my poor experience with Experian.

Credit score dropped after fraud and they have no clue how to bring it back. Even Desjardins tried many times to contact them to fix it. Equifax keeps much better score (my score is excellent there and poor at Transunion, with the same monitored credits ) and is more reliable. Sucks that banks work with this incompetent company.

Irresponsible and immoral business

I am a victim of identity theft and my Transunion credit score dropped from 800+ to 650 because of a fraudulent account opened in my name. Transunion told me that despite I dont have any responsibility with this issue, my credit score will remain 650 for 7 years! So now I wonder how reliable their credit reports are, they provide wrong information to banks and institutions day after day!

Website does not work and charged me after I cancelled. Their website wasn't working so I had to call to have my subscription cancelled. The person on the phone said I was good to go and that I should get a refund since I had cancelled within the same day. Never got the refund. The next month they charged me again for the subscription.

The website doesn't work.

The website doesn't work.
Every customer service representative keeps wanting to direct you to this garbage that doesn't display any information. I didn't even want an account but the person on the phone refused to just place a credit alert attached to my SIN and said "make an account on the website". Next thing I know I'm stuck for 2 days trying to troubleshoot that trash and in the process lo and behold, they are able to put a credit alert without you making an account, just like Equifax did in one 5 minute call.
Just use Equifax.
