About Experian
Experian are one of the world’s leading credit reporting and monitoring companies but do a lot more than this – including score-boosting, identity theft monitoring and fraud resolution.
Like other market giant Equifax, Experian uses a 3-bureau scoring system when calculating credit scores and offers a free credit report for all new users. Other value-added services Experian offer over their rivals are their credit score “boost” where they allow credit for utility bills in the score calculation – and they can scan the dark web to see if your data is being bought and sold – a major safeguard against identity theft and subsequent claims for losses.
From the Experian website:
A good Credit Score is essential to your financial health. Get your FICO® Score* for free and see how you might look to a lender.
With an interactive FICO® Score tracker, you can visualize your progress over time and receive customized alerts when your score or rating change.
Herb T –
free annual check and I’d improved my score by 58 points. NO IDEA HOW but I’ll take it as a win!
Jim Metcalfe –
I signed up for the free dark web scan and was super-surprised to find my details were listed. From looking at the data it had probably been part of a dating site hack a few years ago I was unfortunately a victim of. I have not had any identity theft since that I’m aware of and it doesn’t seem to have affected my credit score so I’m not 100% worried…
Happy with service if a little nervous now that I know scammers have my info. Some things are best left un-known!!!
Out of interest from reading reviews about later charges for the service I’ve not seen anything like this after 6 weeks or so and didn’t even need to enter my CC details or anything so can’t see how I could be charged.
Babbi C –
Received my free score it was higher than others so thats the one im sticking with not used any other services so cant comment on anything else
Mia R –
Very good free service but ESSENTIAL to cancel the account before your first charge comes out. It blows my mind how people don’t realize this and then cry scam.
Abba –
It’s expensive if you expect free and you realize you’re signed into a paid service but if you’re actually wanting to monitor your score it’s the same price and the same service level as anyone else.
