Don't get me started on Experian. Their core service is providing credit scores to lenders. Years ago, I went through a rigorous process to clean up my credit, something which took months but was at least honest on their part. Then they began erecting hurdles, such as a neverending stream of rejection letters requesting further detail when trying to investigate a report. I knew at that point weren't being above board because one of the companies on my credit report had gone spectacularly out of business during the 2008 financial crisis (Countrywide... Remember them?). This company was no longer responding to credit inquiries and yet, Experian failed to remove the offending entries. Now they are brazenly advertising a service for consumers to raise their credit score... Yes, the very same one they gatekeep. Fortunately, I have no use for credit any more.
