1 starI'm certain this is just going to mirror the same things others have said, and I apologize in advance if there's any slight grammatical errors, as I'm using voice-type on my phone for this ordeal..First off, I'm tired of them continuing to send me emails for offers such as "personal credit card matches" that each assure me that either them OR their 3rd party has found me tailored fits - only to log on - be greeted on their site with the SAME blip - but of course never yielding ANY results of ANY kind/nature.. ALSO, the support section of their site intentionally waste the customer's time by going far past simple call/quality-control - and continuing the loop said customer in an ongoing and convoluted mess that never gives the option of any sort of actual "SUPPORT CONTACT" as it's explicitly advertised.. there are many spots on their site that CLAIM to link to an email address that can be used for "General Inquiries" - though they NEVER do, as the ONLY emails listed anywhere on their site are those of a couple Marketing Representatives for that specific purpose (whom neglect to not only respond - but also navigate/refer said email to ANY applicable party.. As it is, the ONLY form of contact - despite what the site continues to state in black and white - is to a customer ********************** number that ***************, and only gets you to a representative if you finagle your way through it's convoluted nature - picking one of a couple golden options. To do this you of course need to enter your social security number the moment you call, wait for it to verify it, and then as soon as it representative comes on the phone they each demand that you read them off the SAME number - despite the blatant redundancy of it all. At this point I'm DISGUSTED with this site, and definitely won't be using it in the future, has it also claims if I upgrade my membership it has the power to wipe my name and address from every site out there that exploits such info legally though unfortunately.Experian Consumer Services

1 starExperian is the absolute WORST. I tried to dispute some items on my credit report that were right at the 7 year **** and should have fallen off. Experian instead "updated" them and now won't allow me to dispute them again, six months later, stating some stupid credit code.Equifax and Transunion not only removed them all, but they allow me to dispute what ever I want, when ever I want. When they're presiding over something as crucial as your credit score, they shouldn't be allowed to restrict you from filing a dispute.Not only that, it should be criminal for Experian to allow collection agencies to re-new their dates to keep old accounts current. I have accounts that were originally closed 10 years ago and the debt collectors have only recently filed collections on them and Experian allows it!TransUnion and Equifax got rid of them, Experian allows it, then blocks you from re-disputing. To add insult to injury, they tell you that if you have documentation, to upload it, then their website has unending errors.These people should be shut down!I wish I could rate them zero stars.Experian Consumer Services

Thank you for the opportunity to address your concerns.Unfortunately, at this time, we are unable to process your disputes, as they are not specific. If there is information appearing on a credit profile that is believed to be inaccurate or incomplete, we must have a specific dispute.

Positive information *** remain on the report indefinitely, although paid closed accounts generally display for up to 10 years from the date paid or closed. Requests for your credit history remain on your personal credit report for at least two years.When your creditor turns over a seriously past due account to a collection company, your credit report will show the status of the account as collection. This account cannot be brought current since the original creditor sold the account as a bad debt. Once you pay the account, the status will be paid collection. The open date on a collection account *** reflect the date the account was sent to collections. This information will remain on the personal credit report for seven years from the initial missed payment that led to the collection.If you wish to file a dispute, we will need the following information:One copy of a government issued identification card, such as a drivers license or state ID card, etc. displaying your current address, and One copy of a current utility bill, bank or insurance statement, etc. Please also include the following identification information:Your full name including middle initial (and generation - JR, SR, II, III) Social Security number Date of birth Complete addresses for the past two years Please list the specific information that you would like to dispute, and tell ** specifically why you believe the information is not accurate.

When we contact the furnisher or vendor, we ask that they verify all of the information regarding the item you disputed and report back within 30 days of the date that we received your request (21 days for ***** residents). To help resolve the dispute, we will review all relevant documents submitted with the dispute and will forward them to the furnisher if we are unable to resolve the issue.If you have any additional supporting new documentation regarding the disputed information or any new disputes, you *** forward that to Experian for further review.

You're full of c*** I've given you my excuse countless times. The accounts that I'm trying to dispute have reached the age threshold to be removed from my credit report. You have debt collectors trying to recover funds from original debts that are older than 7 years and going by the dates that they first attempted to collect the debt.Equifax and Transunion have already acted on those accounts, but for some reason, Experian refuses to act. I've tried to upload proof on your website and get nothing but errors. I've tried to mail my dispute and only get the same canned response that you've given me here. I'm tired of this nonsense and will seek legal remedies if you don't act.Review fromDavid V

1 starA terrible department. I've faxed your required documents on April 6. In addition over the course of the 16 BUSINESS day period I have emailed your customer ********************** team multiple times to get them to verify. They keep replying "IF"... "IF"... i sent the fax they will call or email.I cannot depend on the call because no one calls from an authorized number so it may go to spam. Your team won't verify they received the fax In addition I called today at 7:45 PST and they kept me on hold while they "looked into it" until 8PM, then hung up. You owe me $99.96Experian Consumer Services

Thank you for writing and expressing your concern regarding your membership with Experian. Our records indicate that you ordered a credit report along with an Experian IdentityWorks Premium membership on January 22, 2023. The membership was not cancelled; consequently, in accordance with the published terms of our offer, the credit card provided was charged our monthly membership fee on February 1, 2023. Per your request, your paid benefits ceased, effective April 28, 2023. Our website describes the offer and the order form details the terms and conditions of the offer, including billing at the end of the trial and monthly thereafter unless and until the customer notifies us of their wish to discontinue. The consumer agrees to these terms when submitting their order. We have, as a courtesy, issued a refund totaling $99.96 as of April 27, 2023. Please allow 3 - 5 business days for these funds to process to the credit card account.At this time, we would like to express our regret that your experience with Experian IdentityWorksSM may not have met your expectation or our standard of excellence. We strive for exceptional customer satisfaction and hope we have addressed your area of concern to your expectation.Review fromAshraf H

1 starIf I could give a negative star I would. On my credit report it showed that I owed my credit card company money. So I called the credit card company and they said the bill isnt even due yet. They are scammers. They just want to use your information to get money. I tried to call the number and there is no way to get someone on the phone.Experian Consumer Services

1 starThis business has no regards for the Congress law or anyone. I've sent 2 Identity theft reports and numerous written letters providing my information and explaining the situation that I'm a victim of fraud, I even filed a complaint with CFPB and they didn't care. I still have fraudulent accounts/inquiries reporting on my credit report that they didn't even properly verified. They just say the conduct an investigation and don't explain what did they do and how they conclude that those accounts/inquiries are mine. I've tried calling multiple times and when the ******************** or ****************** answer and I begging to give them my information they hang up on me. This situation is affecting my ability to get credit and my mental health.Experian Consumer Services

1 starRarely leave reviews for anything, but felt compelled to do so here because its been one negative and frustrating experience after another. I have no issues locking / unlocking with the other two agencies, but with Experian, good luck! They are the only ones who dont give you a quick option to lock / unlock and instead force you to use the more cumbersome freeze/ unfreeze process. Their systems did not recognize my account to allow me to properly log in. After speaking with a customer ********************** representative this weekend and trying multiple things in their system, I was told I needed to wait 3 days for my account to be able to be accessed and given a case number and phone number to call back. So after 3 days (today) I call the number. There is NO way through any of the menus to enter my case number or get a live person. I finally try to just log into my account and create a new password. I go through all the steps multiple times and enter a new password and get an error message to the effect of sorry we cant process this at this time, try again later. Later? Like when? So I try again. Same thing. On the FOURTH time of going through all the steps it finally lets me in. Great, I think! So now I can log in. I click on the link to freeze / unfreeze my account. It takes me to a page where the ONLY thing I can do is to order a free credit report. NO other options. So I figure, what the heck, maybe I have to do that to get to the freeze / unfreeze page. So I go through all of the steps to order a report and get an error message that says oops were sorry we have encountered an irrecoverable system error call us toll free between these hours. Its between these hours and so I call and cannot get a live person on in any of the menus no matter how hard I try. I tried the automated freeze via the phone and it had an error too. Its just a comedy of errors. Extremely frustrating.Experian Consumer Services
