Refunds, downgrades, pausing and your data

Four questions people ask before they cancel
Can I get my money back?

Experian's public consumer help page does not state a general refund rule for paid memberships. Ask membership support about a recent charge before assuming a refund.

See policy
Is there a cheaper way to stay?

A paid monthly member can switch online to a free membership while retaining daily Experian report and FICO Score access and monitoring alerts.

Free tier exists
Can I pause instead of cancel?

No paid-membership pause option is documented in the reviewed official consumer help page.

Not available
What happens to my account data?

Membership cancellation does not remove the credit file. Experian offers privacy requests to delete certain directly provided non-credit data, but that request does not delete credit-report data or affect the credit score. Other records may be retained for service, legal, fraud-prevention and dispute needs.
