    Experian Credit Check Issue

    On 11/30/19, due to a setting error, Experian posted credit inquiries as ‘hard inquiries’ on behalf of PCG. 

    A ‘hard inquiry’ is a credit inquiry which is visible to creditors and impacts a credit score. 

    All inquiries have been corrected and changed to a ‘soft inquiry’. 

    A ‘soft inquiry’ is only visible to the consumer, not creditors, and has no effect on a credit score. 

    This correction was completed by 12/3/19. 

    Affected consumers can contact Experian at publicsectorclientmanagement@experian.com  to confirm the inquiry has been corrected.
