      Dishonest about cancellation policy. I made a reservation with the assurance I could cancel up until the reservation, and then Experian refused to let me cancel, giving me no way to do it myself online or over the phone. They violated their own cancellation policy and are acting like they don't understand why I want a refund.

      This is the absolute worst of the three credit bureaus. Always two months or more behind in reflecting changes in your score and they are consistently 30 to 40 points lower than Equifax and TransUnion with the very same information. Someone needs to start a class action lawsuit against this company for costing consumers money with their low credit scores.

      Your FICO(R) Score is calculated based on the data in your credit report at the time you request your credit report and score. Every time you request a new score, a new credit report is pulled, and your new score is calculated based on the information in your credit report, up to once a day. Be aware, your credit report may change often. Differences in your score may be due to a change in balance on one or more of your credit cards, payment updates, or the addition of new accounts. Even the fact that your account(s) is one month older can affect your score. If there are inaccuracies on your credit report, these could also be affecting your score and should be disputed directly with the credit-reporting agency providing that information. In general, there are many factors that can affect an individuals credit score, such as payment history, current debt, available credit to debt ratio, etc. The actual scoring model and its calculations are proprietary to Fair ***** Corporation. Credit scores are usually calculated based on the combination of all the credit factors in your credit report. Your credit score is not based solely on one single item or behavior. Here, the score that is provided as part of your membership is the FICO(R) 8 model based on Experian(R) data. It is a score that many lenders use in the credit application decision-making process. FICO(R) Scores, ranging from 300 to 850, are developed by Fair ***** Corporation which specializes in developing credit-scoring systems for lenders and other businesses. This can help you see and understand how lenders may view your credit worthiness. It is used by many lenders and is indicative of your overall credit risk. Certain industries may use custom credit scores that are tailored to their specific needs. The custom scores may be unique to a specific industry, such as mortgage lending or auto lending. These custom scores may be created based on information found in credit reports together with other information from the lenders own portfolio, such as account history. The score analysis section that comes with your FICO(R) Score should help you understand what specific credit factors had a positive and negative affect on your FICO(R) Score.

      Near impossible to speak with a live agent. When I was connected to a live agent, she disconnected the call when I explained my issue. All of the consumer facing interface shows my credit report freeze status as unlocked, but my lender is still having trouble completing a soft pull. The customer ********************** model at ********************** is atrocious.

      We apologize for any inconvenience our hold times caused you. We show that you successfully were able to remove your freeze on January 9, ****. The creditor was able to successfully pull a copy of your credit report to further assist you. We recently updated our processes for administering security freezes. To add or remove a security freeze online, a consumer must visit www.experian.com/freeze. Existing Experian members will be prompted to sign into their membership. Non-members will be prompted to create a free membership in Experian CreditWorksSM Basic or to create an Experian Service Account. ************************************************** Basic is a free product that provides consumers access to their Experian credit report and FICO(R) Score once every 30 days, along with monitoring alerts which are updated daily. In contrast, an Experian Service Account does not involve enrollment in a membership. It is an online portal through which consumers may log in to manage a security freeze, as well as submit disputes and review dispute results. If consumers cannot or choose not to access our online services, they can contact ** by phone *************) or mail (ECA, PO Box ****, *****, ** *****).

      I was called by an individual claiming to be an employee of Experian. He stated my credit profile was compromised and someone in ******** tried to open two credit cards using my social security number and other personal information. It sounded legitimate and the individual stated he was resolvong the issue for me. After he allegedly removed nefarious identity theft, he stated to hold the line while I transfer to the validation department. When on the line with the vaildation department, the individual appeared to have access to all of my financial records. It then became apparent to me that services which I did not want or need were being pushed by the individual. I would have just left it there as an agressive sales person and terminated the call. However, the Experian employee called back and stated "that the credit card companies were illegally charging us high interest rates and that our allowance of that was also illegal". He suggested that what I was doing was "illegal" by not allowing him to service the credit card debt. I was appalled. It was like a bolier room sales pitch. Experian needs to change thier methods of hard selling to senior citizens. I publish this statement so other senior citzens do not subscribe to services they do not want or need. When I attempted to follow up with Experian to determine the validity of the call, it was impossibe to speak to any representive.********

      Experian is far away the worst of the 3 bureaus to deal with. Their website consistently throws errors when trying to log in, and provides a phone number that does not let you speak with a human, but continually redirects you to their broken website. I am INFURIATED that I cannot access my account when they are stewards of my information. Worse yet, they are bad stewards: because their data is outdated, someone fraudulently applied for credit in my name using information over a decade outdated. I cannot even log into the website to process a dispute or update my info.Experian is a garbage company and I hate that I have no choice but to interact with them.

      I had someone about 8 years ago change my mailing address without my permission to another state. I never lived in that state ever. I took all the required steps for all the credit monitoring companies as well as creating and forwarding a police report. I have contacted Experian at least 3 times to get the address removed by filing a dispute. I looked at my Experian report and found the disputed address back on my report. I also tried to call and talk to a operator (complete waste of time).

      1. I'm pretty sure that they have 2 accounts for me, and even though I have been attempting to get clarification on this ,not one customer ********************** representative has been willing to do anything more than transfer me for an hour or disconnected or both.2. I am consistently ignored, treated as though I am worthless or just don't have any intelligence. 3. Even in email correspondence given answers that are not pertinent to my questions or concerns regarding boosts,connectivity with my personal bank accounts, (message states the issue is on the side of experian) 4. ****, incapable of communication in English whether speaking or listening witch is important because it involves how my insured licensed business operates. 5. I have been polite despite the numerous issues and grievances that I feel are justified and need to be addressed like 3 months ago when I started to like I was not being properly represented. 6. Despite all this repeated offensive management of my financial situation challenge anyone who cares about the way this company is represented to find an instance of me being rude, abrasive, impolite fowl, unprofessional. You can't because I am not. 7. I received a letter from an organization that was responsible for my information leak and giving 2 years of premium service despite my documents and having all need confirmation codes still do not have what twice I have spent hours attempting to actually get the service and have a working clear and concise accurate analysis of my financial situation. 8. The app malfunctions constantly and has serious flaws in what it takes and uses in my regard and that is causing me to be robbed of the same equality in spending or borrowing or investing that I feel others may enjoy. Its not personal I don't matter. I'm so frustrated after the way I have been disregarded and financially damaged by this companies disconnected calls after an hour misrepresentation of my inquiries or condescending rude employee's
