How to Cancel Your Experian Membership
There are several different ways to cancel your Experian membership, similar to when you cancel LinkedIn Premium. The exact procedure depends on which method you use. The methods include:
- Cancel Your Experian Membership Online
- Cancel Your Experian Membership Over the Phone
- Cancel Your Experian Membership by Email
- Cancel Your Experian Membership Through the App
- Third-Party Services
Please note that if you have signed up for more than one Experian service, you might have to complete a separate cancellation for each service.
Read on to learn the steps to each method.
1. Cancel Your Experian Membership Online
You can cancel your Experian membership online by following these steps:
- Use your browser to visit the Experian website.
- Click the “Sign In” button located in the top right corner of the screen.
- Enter your account credentials and log in.
- If you are prompted to subscribe to a new service, choose the “No” option.
- On your homepage, locate and click the “My Subscriptions” button.
- If you have more than one subscription, select the one you want to cancel.
- Click the “Cancel” button.
- Confirm your choice if prompted.
Please note that this option may not be available if you log in to your account from inside the U.S. In that case, you may only be able to switch to the free version rather than canceling completely. If this is the case, consider using one of the other cancellation methods listed below.
After you cancel your subscription online, you will continue to have access to the service until the next billing date. Then, your subscription will change to the free version, and you won’t be charged.
2. Cancel Your Experian Membership Over the Phone
You can also cancel your Experian membership by calling the company’s U.S. call center at 1-866-617-1894. Here are the steps to cancel over the phone:
- Call 1-866-617-1894.
- Choose the option for “consumers.”
- You will be prompted to identify yourself using one or more of the following:
- Name
- Social security number
- Home address
- Date of birth
- If you do not feel comfortable entering that information or you do not have it, you will not be able to use this method.
- You may have to stay on hold for some time for a representative to take your call.
- Once a representative takes your call, tell them that you want to cancel your membership.
- The Experian representative may try to convince you not to cancel or to purchase a new subscription.
- Politely repeat that you want to cancel your subscription. Be firm but remain polite.
- After they fail to convince you to purchase new services, the representative will complete the cancellation.
The operating hours of the call center are:
- Monday to Friday: 6 am to 8 pm PT
- Saturday to Sunday: 8 am to 5 pm PT
When using this method, it is recommended that you have a notebook and pen nearby to take notes about your call, including the time and date of your call, the name of the representative you spoke to, important information discussed during the call, any instructions provided, and the cancellation date. These notes can be useful if you need to contact Experian customer service later for any issues related to your cancellation.
3. Cancel Your Experian Membership by Email
To cancel your Experian membership by email, follow these steps:
- Visit the Experian website’s “Contact Us” page to find the contact information for your subscription’s support team.
- Send an email to the provided support team email address stating that you want to cancel your Experian membership.
Please be aware that this method may take longer than a phone call, as you will have to wait for email responses. However, the advantage is that the entire conversation is documented in the emails.
Unfortunately, there is a possibility that the representative you are communicating with may not assist you with the cancellation and may instead direct you to call the call center.
4. Cancel Your Experian Membership Through the App
Experian offers a smartphone app that provides most of the same services as the Experian website. However, it is not possible to cancel your Experian subscription through the app. You will have to use one of the other methods mentioned above, such as online, over the phone, or via email.
5. Third-Party Services
Some third-party services may offer to cancel memberships on your behalf. If you decide to use such a service, it is essential to ensure that it is reputable and trustworthy before providing sensitive information that could potentially be used to steal your identity. Be cautious when sharing personal information with third-party services.
