Experian alerts

Jnbmom — Thu, 11 Apr 2019 23:40:56 GMT

I have the 4.99 membership to Experian, I keep getting alerts, 5 today and twice last week I got alerts. Now when I go to check ,these are the same alerts dated back to the last week in march.

I have looked at them but not actually clicked on them and have not cleared them out, will they continue to alert me until I actually clear them out or are these possible new alerts but I can't see them? Kinda frustrating.

It will continue to alert you unless you click on them / clear them out... the system is assuming you are not aware that this thing happened and dagonnit it is going to make you aware!!! LoL... think of it this way -- if it was a negative thing that hit your reports and they didn't alert you, you'd probably be way more annoyed... so Click away...

Also -- scroll down the list to look for new alerts - they are usually listed in order based on the date the event occurred; so if it's alerting you to something that happened on another bureau, the alert date may be today but the event date was 3 days ago, so the alert itself will be positioned further down on the list... easy to miss.

Well as you found out, sometimes Experian has good news, eh?
