How to contact the Credit team re default on Experian credit report

jcpp

2: Seeker

Please can someone tell me how to speak to the Vodafone credit team.  I can't get through the phone menus and have made 10+ calls to 03333 040191 so far today with no luck.  Have spoken to Aya in Customer Service who was very helpful and to Deepak on Web Chat who was also very helpful, but neither of whom are able to give me written confirmation that my default debt on credit report is a mistake and will be removed.  

 

This stems from last October when I rang and wrote to Vodafone to cancel my broadband dongle contract.  No further correspondence was received from Vodafone, so I had assumed it was all resolved.  However yesterday I had my mortgage application declined due to a Vodafone debt of £56.84 which I had no knowledge of whatsoever!!!! Apparently although this was actioned on 11th November 2016 there was a Vodafone back-office error which has caused this default debt which I had no knowledge of, no emails, no letters - nothing from Vodafone to advise of any ongoing problem!  

 

Have spent all morning and managing to resolve this with Aya cancelling the debt and Deepak making lots of notes on my account - - I am now hopelessly stuck in a loop of pressing 1s, 2s, *s hanging up and starting again in order to speak to the Credit team who may or may not be able to update my Vodafone record on Credit Scoring reports so that I can get on with my life and get a mortgage.    HEEEEEELLLLLLPPPPPPPP! ! ! !

Can have the details of the credit team I have a similar issue. Thanks

HI My partner has the same problem. A random figure of 149 showing on her credit  report (experian) etc. We simply can't get an answer from the support teams. Well over 50 phone calls. I'm even willing to pay the 150! even though we don't owe it. we just need to get rid of this Default showing on the credit Agencies. Please help?

Hey @brijhardy, thanks for getting in touch. One of the Credit File Specialists in our team will be happy to take a closer look into your partners credit file.

Please get her to contact us via Facebook at Vodafone UK, or get in touch on Twitter using the handle @VodafoneUK. Make sure to pop your username and link to this thread in her message too, this will save her having to explain again and we can help you both quicker. 

I have posted my issue on the Facebook link you sent but haven't had a reply. I really need my partners credit report changing as she is not in default. We have no idea where the 149 figure is from. We would even pay it, just to change this from showing on her credit rating. This is ruining our life!! please help

 

Look at attachment and tel number earlier in thread otherwise you will be ignored and go to CISAS

I posted on Facebook. This is the ref numbers in vodaphone system

I'm sorry if there's a bit of a delay getting back to you @brijhardy - we're a little busier than usual at the moment. One of our team will be in touch with you as soon as they can. 

Hi, I’m having an issue similar to this... 

an account which was instructed to be cancelled but wasn’t and then has been cleared for me in a Vodafone store has affected my credit rating even though it was agreed that this wasn’t my error and I haven’t missed any payments. 

Please could you help me speak to the credit file team? 

@Mairiecperkins1 It's disappointing to hear your credit file has been incorrectly affected. So I can get you in touch with our Credit File Specialists, I've sent you a private message with details on how to get in touch. They'll then be able to help you further 😊

Vodafone team, 

 

I am also facing the same issue with an incorrect default on my credit file. Despite speaking to multiple people who say they are going to call me back in regards to support from your credit team I still haven't heard from them. 

 

Please, can you help?

 

Thanks,
