Positive actions

I wish to raise a formal complaint regarding the apparent delay in updating my credit information following the early repayment/settlement of my account.

I find it concerning that lenders appear to be able to record late payments, arrears and other negative information against a customer’s credit file promptly, yet when an account is paid off early or a balance is settled, the corresponding positive information does not appear to be processed with the same level of urgency. Raising concerns and complaints should not take a month

Hi Terence,

I'm sorry to hear you're disappointed with the time it's taking for your credit report to be updated.

I can understand why this feels frustrating, especially when negative information can seem to appear quickly, while updates reflecting a settled or repaid account don't always appear as soon as you'd expect.

We don't control when lenders send us updates. In most cases, lenders provide updated account information on a regular reporting cycle, and we typically receive these updates every 6 to 8 weeks. Once we receive updated information from a lender, we'll update your credit report accordingly.

I've also raised your complaint with the appropriate team, and they'll be in touch with you shortly.

Thank you for taking the time to share your concerns.

Kind regards,

Stefan.

Hi George,

Thanks for sharing your review.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but neither having an Experian membership nor leaving us a review will give your credit score a boost!

That said, if you're looking to improve your Experian score, you'll find plenty of information, tips and guidance within the app and on our website to help you understand the factors that can affect it.

We appreciate you taking the time to leave your feedback, and hopefully your score heads in the right direction for all the right reasons!

Take care,

Stefan.

Waste of Money

Quite why anyone would pay for information that is freely available elsewhere, is a mystery to me.

Hi,

I'm sorry to hear you feel this way.

I can understand your point of view, especially if you've found similar information available through other services and don't feel there's enough value in paying for additional features.

You can access your Experian credit report and score through a free Experian account, while our paid memberships offer extra tools and services that some customers may find useful. We appreciate that those additional features won't be the right fit for everyone.

Thank you for sharing your feedback.

Kind regards,

Stefan.

limited without paid subscription

The app sends you notifications of changes - like "a new hard search", but when you go into the app it will not show you without a paid subscription. So really playing on people's fears rather than being useful.

The best thing is to turn off all notifications and then periodically open the app and view your full free report to see if there is any changes. Two stars because being able to view your full report from within the app is far easier than the web version where you apply and they send a code before you can view.

Hi Nic,

I'm sorry to hear you feel this way.

I can understand why receiving a notification about a change to your credit report, only to find that the information you're looking for isn't immediately available to you, could be frustrating.

You can access your Experian credit report and score through a free Experian account, and we appreciate your feedback regarding how information is presented within the app. We understand that customers want to clearly understand what's changed on their report and why they've received a notification.

It's good to hear that you've found the app an easier way to access your credit report compared with requesting a statutory report, and we appreciate you taking the time to share both the positives and the areas where you feel we could do better.

Kind regards,

Stefan.

Poor experience

I shouldn't have to pay, use the mobile app or jump through hoops to get a 'statutory report'.

It's my data!

Hi Huw,

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

I can understand your frustration. When the information relates to you, it's understandable to feel that accessing it should be as straightforward as possible.

You can access your Experian credit report and score through a free Experian account, and you're also entitled to request a statutory credit report free of charge. That said, I appreciate your feedback regarding the process and that you feel it involves more steps than it should.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us.

Kind regards,

Stefan.

Experian are the best around…

I was helped by a few people who helped me out a correction in place. They were kind, to the point and answered every email and question I had politely and promptly.

I am happy to pay for my credit history to know it is safe and looked after.
