Is Experian down right now?

No. Our checks are finding no problems with Experian right now. That verdict is live, and the banner at the top of this page carries it too. We re-check Experian continuously using its official status feed, direct network probes and reports from visitors, stopping at the first check that gives a clear answer, and the page updates itself as soon as anything changes. A green verdict does not rule out a fault affecting only some users or regions.

The problems visitors report most often on this page are can't log in, website / app down, can't connect, no response / timing out, API errors, 5xx error pages and slow or laggy. Those are the options the report button offers for Experian, chosen for how this service actually fails rather than a generic list, and the "user reports" chart above breaks down which ones people are picking right now.

Our checks run from one place on the internet, so a fault limited to your region or network can be real while our probes succeed. With Experian specifically, Experian's systems are geographically distributed, and outages can affect specific regions, credit bureaus, or report types independently. A user's credit file may be unreachable while others' load normally, or the credit monitoring portal may be down while lender access continues. That is why this page reports what it observed rather than declaring the service healthy, and why reports from other visitors count toward the verdict.

For Experian, try accessing your credit report from a different device and network, and ask a lender or employer to attempt a credit pull on your behalf. A problem that follows you across networks and devices is very unlikely to be yours.

If this page shows evidence of problems, the fault is most likely on Experian's side. Specifically: do not submit multiple credit applications or freeze requests, as these queue and may process unexpectedly when service returns, potentially creating duplicate records. Reporting it here helps other people see they are not alone.

Continuously, around the clock. Experian does not publish a machine-readable status feed, so we cannot read a verdict from them. We probe experian.com directly over HTTP, fall back to an ICMP ping if that is inconclusive, and weigh reports from visitors. That means we can tell you the service is unreachable, but not what Experian says about it. The verification tier box on this page names whichever check produced the verdict you are reading, so you can see how direct the evidence is.

Yes, at status.edq.com, and it is linked further up this page. That is Experian's own account of their service and it is the place to look for their estimate of a fix. We read it where we can, but we publish our own observations beside it rather than only repeating theirs, because an operator's status page can lag a problem their users are already hitting.

No. status.buzz is an independent monitoring site operated by LuzLab LLC, with no connection to Experian or experian.com. It reads publicly available endpoints and status feeds, and publishes what it observed. For account or billing problems you need Experian's own support, not us.
