Useful for improving your Credit Score

I used Experian during a period when I was looking to buy a house, my score initially wasn't great but using the report and speak to the Experian team, I managed to find the areas the needed improving, closing down old credit cards, registering on electoral roll, rectifying incorrect information etc to help bring my credit score back up.

Credit score check

4
This is a great till to keep track of your credit score and check everything is correct. The only downside is that it is quite expensive at £15 per month. The facts on it are quite accurate and if there are any discrepancies then it is easy to sort Reviewed on: 22nd May 2016

good service but way too expensive

3
they are offering a decent service but in my opinion it is far too expensive for what you really get. You can access the same basic service by having a Barclaycard credit card and paying nothing. It would be better if the prices would reflect the service provided. Mark Reviewed on: 7th May 2016

Very good service

Close to impossible to cancel

2
I tried Experian to get my credit score and to hopefully improve it. No problems so far, but when I tried to cancel it, they ignored it and took more money from my account. It took a very very long time and too many complaints before I got my account cancelled and my money back. Reviewed on: 6th May 2016
