WE SHOULD PLACE SCORES TO EXPERIAN IN THE SAME ARBITRARY WAY THEY DO TO [GEOGRAPHIC_DATA]

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Its literally impossible to contact Experian via telephone, via regular, electronic or certified mail they just placed any INACCURATE information on our records that their partners Banks, Credit and collection co tell them, keeping consumers always under is their real business.

User's recommendation: REPORT THEIR BAD PRACTICES to THE CFPB, FTC, BBB online to google, everywhere you can. This company probably is run by a banking cartel MAFIA should be investigated REPORT to Nick Shirley the way the operate should be illegal in USA

Haven't received the help I need

Experian - Haven't received the help I need

Good afternoon,

My name is Rickie Lee Hamilton and I've been trying to update my credit information. I have called 11 times over the past 4 days to no avail.

I've been hung up by supervisors, or placed on hold for more than an hour. I paid my $99 dollars as verified by Phillip but now he will not take my calls. I find this very disturbing! I've talked to Credit click, customer service, a half dozen supervisors, some of which have hung up on me!

various persons stating they can help me, but that's not true. Whom should I speak with that CAN help me. I'm 76 years old and not that smart with technology. I've been on a carousel from day one.

Talk to this person, talk to that person, BUT no one has helped. I guess my next call will be to our corporate offices and speak to the CEO. Your service is deplorable and your concern is lacking.

What do I do now? Please help me get my information corrected so I can lift my freeze.

User's recommendation: Check and recheck

Posting false information

AI Highlights
  • - Stuart Landing collection on my report is false.
  • - Stuart Landing failed to post to my report.
  • - TransUnion shows current information.
Updated by user Dec 19, 2025

It *** be the norm with most credit agencies your guilty until proven innocent. And even with documents and photos they still make you go through *** ends to process to finally realize there mistake.

Original review Dec 17, 2025

I just recently reviewed my credit report. On it has a collection by Stuart Landing apt.

I reviewed the informations and it totally false . The date of a lease isn't accurate and neither is the due date. This company Stuart Landing has fail on several attempts to post to my credit report. This agency was and is the only with TransUnion providing the present information.

This is fraud. Provide one shedd of evidence to support this claim that's factual.

Cons:
  • It hurts consumers by not posting thevtruth

Preferred solution: Remove this false claim immediately

User's recommendation: Never stay at Stuart Landing Galveston they are crooks

Erroneous collection

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Company failed to dispute collections for months, dropping my score by 85.
  • - I removed collections and rebuilt my credit with Creditmason.repair.

For months, the company failed to dispute the collections I had requested, which caused my credit score to drop by 85 points. Their customer service was unresponsive and unhelpful.

I had to go remove those collections and restore my credit through Creditmason.repair to get back on a good course. To anyone facing unresolved credit issues, I'll suggest you find the company on Google for effective solutions.

Pros:
  • Many lenders use experian results for approval
Cons:
  • Free version constantly encourages upgrade to paid plans

Preferred solution: Apology

User's recommendation: Remove your negative items through Creditmason Repairs

Doesn't update information

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - TransUnion updated my new credit cards, but Experian hasn't.
  • - Experian isn't updating and is behind.
  • - Delays have caused denials due to not updating.

I have been trying to get a better credit score. TransUnion has updated my new credit cards.

Experian doesn't. They are way behind. And you can't speak with a representative.

They are very frustrating. They have caused me to be denied many things by not updating us.

Cons:
  • Most everything

Preferred solution: An updated score and my cards on my report correctly

User's recommendation: Use transunion only

I am locked out of my account and they will not let me back in

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Locked out of Experian; months of waiting; tried password resets and creating a new account.
  • - Account flagged; user has 800+ credit.

I am locked out of my Experian account and have been told on multiple occasions that I must wait. I've waited months.

I've tried everything they've recommended, from a password reset, identity verification, to creating a new account. After waiting for half an hour to get a human today, I was told my account was 'flagged' and I would have to wait. I have excellent credit (800+) with all three credit monitoring agencies.

I feel like my account is hijacked. I'm trying to buy a house, and this anomaly is causing issues.

Cons:
  • Credit is being held hostage

Preferred solution: My account unlocked and access to my credit file with Experian

Membership update

AI Highlights
  • - Cannot sign in; automated system redirects to self-service and no live agent is reached.
  • - Tried multiple departments and corporate; they sent me back to the automated system.

Cannot sign in through the automated system tried a couple of other departments, and they sent me back to the auto system cannot reach a live person even tried corporate headquarters back to the auto system again obviously they don't care about their customers. Been with them for years.

Not a way that customers should be treated. They found an effective way to avoid talking to their customers when they need help shame on them.

User's recommendation: Find a company that has a phone

IMHO Experian operates a FRAUD on the public. Their VRS is all but frustratingly incompetent and unresponsive.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - No number to reach a live customer service representative.
  • - A welcome message about quality plays repeatedly and questions Experian's quality.

there was NO phone number that allowed me access to a live CSR. And every time I had to listen to that ridiculous, stupid welcoming message about how they insure quality - WHICH THEY DON'T. Experian is a bad joke.

Cons:
  • Totally unresponsive
  • Terrible vru

Preferred solution: SERVICE to unfreeze

User's recommendation: Don't use Experian unless you absolutely have to but they ARE ALL full of SHIITE.

Wretched customer service

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - I cannot cancel or reach support.
  • - Contact info changed; prompts and toll-free line block access; insurance emails persist, no management response.

Have been trying to cancel my subscription with them but is impossible to get a hold of a live person. Contact information has changed so can't follow prompts to access account, but one should be able to speak with a live person at a credit bureau, toll free number is automated, and refers you to the prompts...no response from emails, even from upper management...but endless emails continue to pour in about saving on my insurance...

User's recommendation: Don't subscribe to them....ever.

I was trying to have a background check for a license I was applying for. I was able to successfully unfreeze two of my three accounts. But Experian was a nightmare. I was stuck in an endless cycle

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Of unhelpful and no solution. I called every number I could find in 3 different states. Unable to speak to a live person, I could not unfreeze my account at Experian.

No support

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - I can't log in because the password reset link is blocked on my phone.
  • - Support calls go to an automated system and only two options are offered.

Every time I try to log in they make me change my password and so I changed my password and is blocking the link to my phone so I can reset it I called it I don't get it person I get a machine so nothing happens and I can't get into my account what a waste of money and phone service that these guys have for no reason it's pointless and you want to get two options that's all you get

Incorrect information regarding credit reports.No response!

Your customer service is the worst I have encountered in my 75 years. You spend so much time trying to verify who I am that we never get to the problem, and the problem is the misinformation that you put in the customer credit reports!

I am very pissed off now.

You either have poor options or you have a recorded operated that only has two options and then hangs up on you! Your whole Customer Service option is anything, but, customer service!

My information in my credit report is wrong! And, I can not get anyone from your company to help me fix it.

User's recommendation: Call my phone number so I can hear you!!
