[edit] Telemarking POV
This section is boarding on a spiteful rant towards Experian. I can't say I know much about the subject, so do not wish to update it, but I think it needs to either be changed to be NPOV, or deleted. ---- Loco830/Espio (Rant) 17:56, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
I just received a call like the one described about 10 minutes ago. It is deffinately not just a "spiteful rant" it's reality. If you google that number there re lots of people with the same issue. Killfoot 17:52, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
The final para of section 'Experian North America' does not conform to NPOV, nor to the other two principles of 'no original research' and 'verifiability'. This para needs to be deleted or changed to satisfactorily reflect wikipedia principles.
'Its business practices have been alleged to be discriminatory, sexist, and immoral ...' - needs references to reliable and reputable sources. '... and the company is biased and immoral when deciding who to extend credit to.' - who alleges this? what references? 'It has been known to get out of legitimate complaints about its business ethics and violations of consumer privacy through its affiliation with large and influential law firms ...' - needs references to reliable and reputable sources. '... and an incomprehensible and unnavigable phone system in which it is all but impossible to speak to a real person. - this looks like a personal point of view with its subjective and emotional turn of phrase. Again needs references to reliable and reputable sources.

Can anyone tell me what's up with those uber-creepy ads LowerMyBills.com plasters all over the web? Some creepy guy and a fat girl dancing on a roof, walking cave troll with the hair of Gozer from Ghostbusters, etc. - MSTCrow 23:56, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
- Good question. I'm not sure that I can answer it, but I can confirm that Experian is indeed a very shady, shady organization. They're collecting information about my credit worthiness and then charging ME to monitor it so that I can confirm if their information is accurate. That take's a lot of nerve. Actually, I better not run my mouth too much or My Corporate Overlords will deduct a few points from my (already rocky) credit score. Jesus. Watch for the signs, brother. ---some decent and honorable human being. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.164.33.48 (talk) 00:31, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

In addition to apparently pre-existing promotional tone, User:Experian may be a representative of the company itself. That account added even more promotional material, which has since been removed. -- Beland 02:13, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
- This is a valid point. Stating on the article page, as someone did, that teh subject have been "manipulating " the article is not a good idea. There is the {{COI}} template for this type of case though Rich Farmbrough, 16:57 7 January 2008 (GMT).
