All in all you’re pretty good

All in all you’re pretty good, but I asked you to look into an account which is not being updated and it’s still nut budged in months.

Hello.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for us.

For any changes to your account information, including balances and settlements, we must ask you to allow 6-8 weeks for this to appear on your credit report.

If your enquiry has been raised directly to the lender, please be aware that it may take up to 28 days for us to respond. We will contact you to confirm this information. This is because the lender has to review their information and reply to us. If there’s a delay, we will contact them on your behalf.

I am unable to check your specific enquiry via Trustpilot however if you are awaiting a response please make sure to check your junk and spam inbox folders. Some of our emails may be automatically placed here by your email provider.

I hope this helps, Claire.

Good company and great to keep an eye on your credit score But some of the reports just don’t make sense or justified and you can be easily penalised.

I wouldn’t have given any stars

I wouldn’t have given any stars, but I had to leave at at least one because there was no space for no stars
Not because my score has dropped (no fault of my own). My review is because in my opinion Experian haven’t looked why I have 2 new credit checks in 6 months.
One is for a new car I bought to save me money and the other is for insurance for the car paid monthly. Also I’ve come out of their boost membership to save £14.99 each month. They can see the only credit card I have has only £200 on it from over a thousand which is being paid off at £200 per month and next month it will be zero. To improve my score, they suggested taking a small overdraft which I applied for, I was refused. They also suggested consolidating my debt, which was also refused.
Wake up Experian look into my history and put a written report on file rather than a numerical one. Which you keep informing me lenders don’t look at.
SO WHY HAVE ONE AT ALL?
Regards
L Kirkman

Hello, Ryan.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your honest review.

I'm really sorry to hear that your issues remain unresolved, the last thing we'd want is for you to have any issues with our service

I can see that our technical team is still investigating this issue for you, and that your concerns haven't been ignored. With matters like these, it can be frustrating for us as well, as we want our products to work perfectly for you.

I'd love to be able to give you a timeframe for this, however as technical issues require more investigation and troubleshooting, there's not an immediate resolution. But I can assure you that our team will aim to resolve this as soon as possible, and we will update you when we can.

Thanks, Stuart.

I have been extremely disappointed with…

I have been extremely disappointed with my experience with Experian. Trying to resolve issues on my credit report was far more difficult than it should have been. Customer service responses were slow, and I often received generic replies that did not address my specific concerns.
The process for raising and tracking disputes was frustrating, with little communication regarding progress or timescales. On several occasions, I had to follow up multiple times to receive updates, which added unnecessary stress and inconvenience.
I also found the website and account management tools confusing to navigate at times, making it difficult to access the information I needed. As a company that plays such an important role in people's financial lives, I expected a much higher level of accuracy, transparency, and customer support.
Overall, my experience has left me feeling frustrated and undervalued as a customer. I hope Experian improves its customer service, communication, and dispute resolution processes to provide a more reliable and user-friendly experience in the future.
