Since XXXX/XXXX/2015 I have attempted to pull my Experian credit report to no avail. When I go to XXXX to pull a copy of my credit file, I recieve a message stating that I have already obtained my credit report within the allowed time and directs me to experian.com. The prompts direct me to buy my FICO score and credit report. I bought the seven day plan for {$1.00}. This is not the type of report I am looking for. I have a few problems here : 1. ) I do not want to buy my FICO score, I only want my credit file. 2. ) The format is not consumer friendly ( i.e. everything is in boxes and will not provide the payment history with dates e.g. date of last payment & date of first delinquency ). Without this information how am I to understand what needs improvement. 3. ) When I call their number ( XXXX ) and explain what it is that I need ... I am told that " I need to call Experian the credit reporting agency '' because I am speaking to Experian online Direct and they are not the same company. They have no way of providing me with my " credit file ''. According to the last rep I spoke to a regular credit report is called a " credit file ''.
