Experian backdoor method no longer possible?

toi34 — Thu, 30 Jan 2014 20:25:25 GMT

For the last 3 days to access my EX CR using an old Report # and the backdoor method.... I keep getting:

"We're sorry. We experienced a system problem and we are unable to provide your personal credit report for online viewing at this time. You may want to try again later."

Any theories?

by backdoor, do you mean experian.com/view?

if so, it still works, at least for me.

Yes...the "view report again" link. Have they caught on and deactivated my report#?

i doubt they are deactivating reports manually.

maybe the servers that are storing your reports are currently down. try again later, if so.

maybe your report has expired? not too sure if there's any time limits though.

I've been unable to dispute anything through the actual EX website for weeks now but am still able to access it this way.

I think they shut me down. I even ordered a report to see if I could get access to a current report...not happening for me either. I just wanted to see my SP

I've check the experian.com/view twice today, worked both times for me.

Yeah the funny thing is that I joined EX monitoring for a trial period and forgot to cancel before the 9 days so I tried a few ways to get my money back (they weren't having it). I subsequently cancelled the account and have been unable to access the disputes ever since even though I can order a new report every day? Coincidence? lol.

ok, I just ordered a report 1/22...when I try to initiate an online dispute, it says I need to mail in my dispute.

Also, I can't seem to find the report number anywhere on this CR...Where exactly is it?

Is it a report from myfico? If so, the report number will not be on it. My number is on the first page, top center on the report I got directly from Experian.

Using this method to obtain a CR is a violation of the TOS of these forums. Please do not discuss this.

I thought the reports numbers were only good for 90 days after the original report was published.

You must have a current copy of your Experian personal credit report in order to use this service. If you have a copy, please enter thereport number listed at the top of the report. If you do not have a report number that you received within the last 90 days, order a current copy of your personal credit report.
