Hi Joanne,

I'm sorry to hear you've been left feeling confused by the change to your score.

I can understand why this would be frustrating, especially if nothing has changed from your perspective and you were hoping for a clear explanation. When you monitor your score regularly, it's natural to want to know exactly what's caused it to move.

While changes to your score are usually linked to information held on your credit report, I appreciate that's not much help if you're unable to identify what has changed or why the score has been affected. Depending on the type of membership you have, some additional details, including factors that may have influenced a score change, may not be available within your account.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We understand how important it is for customers to have confidence in the information they're seeing.

Best wishes,

Stefan.

Experian can restore your credit rating

My house burnt down in Sept 2025 and I had a deal with a ccard company to pay off x amount a month and instead of acknowledging it. They told Experian I defaulted every month. Experian contacts the companies for you. To rectify the problem

Hi Henk,

I'm sorry to hear about the circumstances you've been through. Dealing with the aftermath of a house fire is difficult enough without then having concerns about how an account is being reported on your credit report.

I can understand how frustrating it must have been if you had agreed a payment arrangement with the credit card company but were still seeing negative information being recorded. That said, I'm pleased to hear that we were able to contact the company on your behalf to help investigate the issue.

We appreciate you sharing your experience and are glad we could assist in getting the matter looked into.

Best wishes,

Stefan.

Hi Mr Simmons,

Thank you for sharing your feedback.

I can understand your point of view and why you'd want full access to your credit information without paying for a subscription.

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 from our website free of charge. Some additional features and services are included within our paid memberships, but we appreciate these may not be for everyone.

We're grateful you took the time to share your thoughts and pleased to see you've otherwise had a positive experience.

Hi Joan

I'm sorry to hear you've been unable to get a copy of your report.

Depending on the type of Experian membership you have, you may not have the option to download your credit report directly from your account. If you're using our free service, you can still request a statutory credit report from our website free of charge, which will provide the information we hold about you.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

Kind regards,

Stefan.

Don’t obsess over your rating

Nothing more boring in your life than your credit rating. And the stupid thing is, if you pay off all your debts your rating slips. Mad.

Reply from Experian

Hi Chris,

I can see where you're coming from. It can feel confusing when you've worked hard to pay down debt, only to notice your score doesn't always move in the direction you'd expect.

Your credit score is calculated using a range of information from your credit report, so changes in your borrowing, available credit, account history, and other factors can all have an impact. Because of this, paying off debt doesn't always result in an immediate increase to your score.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us.

Take care,

Stefan.

I need to delete my experian and change…

I need to delete my experian and change to clear score, there services are better, more for the people, as apose to taking company sides.
I've paid and cleared my debt 4 months ago with tm legal, yet today I've checked my experian account (which I do monthly) and this month it says I owe them £19, yet my account balance is zero. I've even got the email stating "thanks for completing your payments" from tm legal, showing me zero balance left to pay. And despite me raising this issue with experian, tm legal has doubled down and still sent false information to experian claiming there information on my debt is correct.
Experian is doing little to help, and I haven't been asked for the evidence I have, nor is there an option. So legal actions is my next and only option. *I HAVE PROOF * of completed payments.

I told experian why this is false, they asked the debt company and decided yo stick with the lies. This is terrible and unprofessional. I will be taking legal actions against this decision aswell and the duty of care NOT displayed. As this has blocked me fro. Growing financially.

Hi Dan,

I'm sorry to hear how frustrating this has been for you.

I can understand why you'd be upset, particularly if you've paid the debt in full, have confirmation from TM Legal that the balance is zero, and are still seeing a balance reported on your credit report several months later. It's also understandable that you'd feel disappointed if you don't believe the outcome of the investigation reflects the evidence you hold.

When a query is raised, we contact the organisation reporting the information and ask them to review it. However, the information on your credit report belongs to the lender or company reporting it. If they confirm that the information they're supplying is correct, we can't amend it ourselves without their instruction.

If you do decide you'd no longer like to use your Experian account, you can deactivate it from within the app or website once you're signed in.

I appreciate that this isn't the outcome you were hoping for, especially when you have documentation that you believe supports your position, and I'm sorry for the frustration this has caused.

Kind regards,

Stefan.

Hi Karen,

I'm sorry to hear you're frustrated with the experience.

I can understand why you'd want a clearer idea of what's affecting your credit score without feeling that you need to take out a subscription.

While some additional features are available as part of our paid memberships, we appreciate that these won't be right for everyone.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
