Even with inflation increasing your monthly bills, you may be able to find a great deal with minimal effort on your part. Experian BillFixer™ saves you the time and headache of contacting your providers by negotiating better rates on your behalf. If you are looking for a way to cut costs and stretch your budget, reducing your necessary bills is a prime first stop.
When you sign up for an Experian Premium membership, you'll automatically get access to BillFixer. This feature employs expert negotiators who contact your service providers to get you the best available deals.
Here's how to take advantage of this cost-saving feature and get control of your bills.
How Does Experian BillFixer Work?
You can get access to Experian BillFixer with your Experian premium membership. Once you sign in to your Experian account, navigate to BillFixer and follow these steps to lower your bills:
- Send us your bills. Submitting your bills is secure and uses encryption to make sure your personal information is as safe as possible during the process. Simply download a copy of your bill or snap a photo of it. Then upload it to BillFixer using the "Upload bill" screen.
- Let us negotiate for you. Our expert negotiators can save you hours on the phone. We are experienced in looking for promotional rates, customer loyalty discounts, special packages and additional credits to bring your bills down. With your permission, we can negotiate using your name, which tends to get the best results. You can also add us as authorized users who can make changes or join us on a three-way call when negotiating your account. You should see results within three to seven business days.
- Enjoy your savings. You keep 100% of your negotiated savings.
BillFixer never downgrades the services you receive without your permission. You keep the same level of service you had before. BillFixer can contact you if any contracts or feature cancellations offer a better deal before any changes are made to your account. And to streamline the process further, you can pre-consent to contracts.
