No Assistance; No Communication

published

On 09/12 it was confirmed that a fraudulent account was opened in my name that I was unaware of until I came to see my low credit score because of this account that was handed over to the credit department.
I have contacted Credit Simple on numerous occassions and not once had a response from them. In the meantime my credit rating is as low as it can go.
I have contacted the network company in an attempt to resolve the matter by starting from square one. Still no response from credit simple/illion.
This is appalling and I am frustrated to say the least. I fell victim to identity fraud and no one seem to care at credit simple.

Not what it claims to be

published

The “credit score” angle is just a hook so you can be sent a multitude of “special offers” for credit cards and other financial products. Once you signup there is no obvious way to delete your account. Request for them to delete your account only results in a spam “ we will get back to you” email.
Don’t sign up and don’t be fooled.

Inaccurate information

published

This credit history company holds inaccurate and outdated information not congruent with other more reputable companies. If you are to set up an account with a credit history provider please use credit savvy.

Inaccurate info held on file + very dodgy offers

published

Inaccurate information held on me. Very dodgy offers from Moola and the like. Why the heck would I take advantage of one of those rubbish offers when I have such a good credit score? Offer something a bit more decent to us with excellent credit ratings to make it worth our while.

Not the right or accurate information

published

I contacted more then three time update them about my closed accounts which paid off showing in my credit file. I have no default payment. Did not have any credit enquiry since dec 2017. Always pay credit payment or bills on time also showing is up to date in history but every month score keep droping from last 18 months. Dont get any reasonable response or specific reason for that. So not bothering any more.
I constantly get spam saying there's been activity when there hasn't and the website adverts are just annoying and inappropriate.

Inaccurate, missing half my details

published

I checked credit simple, credit savvy and Equifax.
My Equifax had every account and payment logged being very detailed, Credit simple wasn't as detailed and credit simple had completely out of date innacurate information. It doesn't even show or perhaps consider payment history.
I had two very similar ratings from credit savvy and Equifax; however, credit simple was 20% less!
I hope companies don't use this for checking potential customers credit!

Spam Emails

published

I have received large amounts of spam emails ever since I joined the Credit Simple service. I thought perhaps this was a coincidence however I have since learned that they are selling customer information to third parties.

Simply didn't work.

published

Tried to activate my account multiple times with the activation email leading to a "We've encountered an error" page with no further explanation. Very frustrated and won't be using this service, instead I will look elsewhere.

Very back communication and feedback

published

The theory is them investing credit checks on your account sounds great if you don’t have to wait 5 months without feedback. Still waiting to hear back from them. I have sent them many emails asking how the investigation is going NO reply.

Beware! Using this site made my score worse!

published

So this seemed like a great idea - I used to have a Veda advantage subscription so there were no surprises in my report - my score is classed as ‘good’. I was very impressed with their tailored offers. I saw a low rate credit card offered with 16% interest free balance transfer. So I applied, but was rejected. Then I go back to my dashboard to find my score has dropped by 25 points because of another enquiry! I’m absolutely furious that they advertise these offers which are not appropriate for the user and then penalise you for it! It gets two stars for being free and having a score plus explanation - but beware their offers, they’re a joke.

Professional service that works like it says

Credit Simple is a credit score company owned by a reputable credit reporting bureau. So far, so good. It's a breeze using their site and I find it quick accessing the credit report. More than just a credit score which comes in handy like spendtracker, default clearance, financial tips. One thing I'll make note of, responsiveness on investigating things could be faster, as it's a stressful time for people - but overall very happy.

Like the comparisons

published

My score is above and probably comparable to other credit score companies. What I really liked about Credit Simple was the comparison items in the Dashboard - so you can see how you rank against other people similiar to you. That helps to give me context, especially because I'm at Uni and above average for my age and sociodemographic.

Not a good score (my fault though)

published

I'm not happy with my score (I got a zero score), but that's my fault not Credit Simple. No wonder I wasn't getting any approval with some of my applications. Any ways, I've got a few things to fix up on my file so I will do that and keep an eye on it. Overall aside from my own bad score I think the site is good and good that it's free. Thankfully I'm no longer in the dark. So I'm heaps happy.

Easy

Ended up on the credit Simple website after searching for balance transfer credit cards, got my credit score, got a credit card offer after that so took it out. Thought it was too good to be true, but read up on the sites about how it works and it is legit. Easy process, I'd use it again for other credit stuff too.

Similar to the UK

published

I moved to Australia recently from the UK, where credit scores are the norm and most people know their score and have gotten their credit history. Good to see Credit Simple operating in the market, would be good to see it in the UK too. My credit score was average as I only have one line of existing credit here in Australia, but that will change rapidly. No problems with the company and what I got for my time and effort put in. Will continue to monitor my score through Credit Simple. Does anyone know another site I can check out?

Have fun trying to get off their mailing list - Harassment personified

published

Interesting initial experience, but after the short thrill of having some insight into how lenders view your financial status, this becomes an albatross you cant get off from around your neck. The emails keep coming and you cant unsubscribe from all their emails (only some). If you are even tempted to explore this experience, hit yourself on the head with hammer now to snap yourself out of it. Avoid, avoid, avoid.

Happy as a CLAM

I think it's hilarious that people are so angry at Credit Simple here, you'll see them reviews in the 2nd page or at the bottom of the first. I see there's a real lack of understanding about credit scores and how your credit history works, especially LOL at the people who want to have their credit history deleted - dude, you ticked the box! I've known about credit scores for a long time so I think it's a bit silly. Putting my two cents worth in because I think Credit Simple does a great job, and obviously has to deal with a lot of people who just don't have a clue. Educate yourself first before writing a review, at least you'll correct yourself before putting any of these credit bereau agencies down. It's a simple 101 truth.

Excellent service, one of the best

published

As part of a uni research project I've been looking at the credit reporting arena, so I tested Credit Simple along with other credit score companies, and got my credit file from each of the credit reporting bureaus. I would have to say Credit Simple is one of the best, if not the best, in particular due to the transparency on their website and their responsiveness on social media when asking questions. Thanks. Highly recommended!

Questions & Answers

calais

calaisasked

Credit simple, why do you state that I have a Court judgement against my name, I have had Oakbridge lawyers and Equifax check your allegations and both have contacted me and disagree with your claims. I have sent you a copy from them both but you still have not corrected my file on your system. Is your system that poor and out dated. What more proof and mucking around do you require? Do you Think that the letter I forwarded you from the lawyer is false? It has all their contact details. Please respond. Maybe it is you that need investigation. Can be arranged

This is a scam business. They get your details, won't let you unsubscribe, and they write fake reviews.
