Clear, concise, efficient reporting

5
Of all the credit checking and credit report platforms, Experian has been the most constant, with clear reports, updated, notification offers. It is my go-to if I need to apply for credit or just to check my overall financial health and score. I've only had to use their customer service support once due to a system error, and that was resolved very quickly, Reviewed on: 12th June 2025

Free service to keep an eye on my credit score

Free service to keep an eye on my credit score I've been using the free service to keep an eye on my credit score. Can't fault it for that really! Does the job and does it well. My wife has the id protection, free from Southern Water. I'm evaluating whether I need it, but leaning to no. Reviewed on: 12th June 2025

Great features available, however very expensive

3
For what you pay monthly, it is very expensive. It is hard to justify the cost on a strict budget. The boost feature is very handy and does make a difference, however the section offering support on how to improve your score does not actually help. If this did actually help improve your score, it would make the service better value. It does offer a lot of useful features, including locking your score. This is an excellent feature as it stops any unwanted credit accounts being opened in your name, so therefore minimises the risk of fraud. Even with these two features, it’s a lot of money per month. It would be great if it was more accessible. The people that need it will not be able to use it. I know there is a free service through Experian, however it is very limited. The service needs to be more proactive in recommending ways to improve your score. I will cancelled my paid subscription due to the cost due to limited budget, yet another monthly payment was taken out of my account. I shall be contacting them today and if I receive excellent customer service, I shall update this review. Reviewed on: 15th October 2024
