Lovely person to speak to but more info needed

The person I spoke to was lovely and was as helpful as they could be but I was provided information I already had access to and I was given 1 piece of information that wasn’t guaranteed to be correct. I appreciate Experian as a whole as I got my news via an email and wouldn’t have known otherwise.

Hi Paul,

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback.

I'm pleased to hear that the colleague you spoke with was helpful and provided a positive experience. That said, I can understand your disappointment if most of the information provided was already available to you, and the additional information shared wasn't something that could be confirmed with certainty.

It's encouraging to hear that our email notification helped make you aware of the change in the first place, but I appreciate that you'd expect any follow-up contact to add further value and provide clear, reliable information.

Thank you again for sharing your experience. Feedback like yours helps us understand where we can improve the support and information we provide to our customers.

Kind regards,
Stefan.

Disappointing experience

Bit of a con, I keep getting emails saying that something has affected my credit score, sometimes positively sometimes not but when I log in to check what it is I’ve got to pay to find out what it is that’s affecting my credit score.
It seems a little strange because there’s nothing changed that would make a change in either direction that I’m aware of, so I’m concerned it’s something I don’t know about but I cannot find out with paying them extra.

Hi Daveytee,

I'm sorry to hear you feel this way.

I can understand why receiving notifications about changes to your credit score, only to feel unable to see what's caused them, would be frustrating. It's also understandable that you might be concerned if you're not aware of anything in your circumstances that would explain the changes.

Your credit score can change as information on your credit report is updated, even if there haven't been any obvious changes from your perspective. Depending on the type of membership you have, some of the additional detail around score changes may not be available within your account.

You can still access your Experian credit report and score through a free Experian account, and if you spot information you don't recognise, you can raise a query with us at no cost.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

Kind regards,

Stefan.

Credit score

It would be so much better if credit score refreshed more often.

Hi Victor,

Thank you for sharing your feedback.

I can understand why you'd like to see your credit score refresh more often. When you're keeping a close eye on your credit report, waiting for updates can sometimes feel longer than expected.

We rely on lenders and other organisations to send us updated information, which is typically provided every 4 to 8 weeks. Depending on your membership type, your credit score and report may also refresh every 30 days, so recent changes may not be reflected straight away.

We appreciate your feedback and your suggestion.

Best wishes,

Stefan.

I find the arrogance and manner which Experian are only a reporting agency for the multi national bullies and make excuse after excuse and trash people’s credit ratings because they think they can ! Well let me tell you Experian you can’t and I will sue you in a court of law as I’m doing this as we speak so I suggest you explain to the judge you bully boys .

Hi John,

I'm sorry to hear how strongly you feel about your experience.

I can understand why you'd be frustrated if you feel your concerns haven't been properly addressed and that the information being reported doesn't reflect your circumstances.

Having looked into your account, I've personally sent you an email covering the points you've raised, along with the steps we've taken and the possible options available to you going forward. I hope this provides some additional clarity around your situation.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

Kind regards,

Stefan.

Hi Marion,

I'm sorry to hear you're unhappy with your score.

I can understand why it would be frustrating if you feel the score you're seeing doesn't accurately reflect your circumstances, especially if you're unable to see changes you expect to be reflected straight away.

Your score is based on the information held in your credit report, and updates aren't made in real time. We rely on lenders and other organisations to send us updated information, which they typically do every 4 to 8 weeks. Depending on your membership type, your credit report and score may also only refresh every 30 days, so recent changes may not yet be visible within your account.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

Kind regards,

Stefan.

Hi Stephen,

Thank you for sharing your feedback.

I can understand your disappointment. When you're looking for a balance transfer card to reduce the amount of interest you're paying each month, it can be frustrating if there aren't any suitable offers available.

The products shown are based on the information available at the time and the lender's eligibility criteria, so there may be occasions where no balance transfer offers are available, even when you're actively looking to reduce your borrowing costs.

I appreciate this wasn't the outcome you were hoping for, and thank you for taking the time to share your experience.

Best wishes,

Stefan.

Hi Krishna,

I'm sorry to hear you've had a negative experience.

I can understand how frustrating it would be if you were unable to access the products you were looking for, particularly when you then found that some options weren't available based on your location and you experienced difficulties accessing the loan section altogether.

I also appreciate your disappointment after taking the time to provide feedback by email, only to receive a response suggesting that mailbox wasn't monitored for replies.

Thank you for sharing your experience. Feedback like yours helps highlight where customers feel the journey could be clearer and more straightforward.

Kind regards,

Stefan.
