How to remove yourself from Experian UK
Experian UK (experian.co.uk) is a credit bureau company. Besides your credit file, credit bureaus run marketing databases with your address and household details, sold for targeting. Under GDPR they have to delete your data for free when you ask. HenryProtect handles that entirely for you, together with dozens of other companies, and keeps checking every week.
We do this for you. You don't have to do anything.
- Autopilot sends the request to Experian UK, plus dozens of other data brokers that likely hold your data.
- We send the reminders, handle the replies and keep track of the one-month deadline.
- We rescan you every week. If your data comes back, we send a new request.
- All you do is enter your name, confirm your email and give us permission. Free during the beta.
What Experian UK may hold about you: home address and financial or credit details.
Where to send the request: UK.DPOBusinessEnquiries@Experian.com.
Who it affects: mainly people in the UK.

Prefer to do it yourself?
You can. It takes about five minutes for Experian UK, plus the follow-ups if they don't answer.
- Fill in your name and email below. Use the email Experian UK most likely has, such as your work email.
- Click Open in my email. The letter is ready, addressed to UK.DPOBusinessEnquiries@Experian.com.
- Keep your sent email. Experian UK must answer within one month.
- If they ask for a copy of your passport, you usually don't need to send one. Give only what they need to find you, and black out your ID number and photo.
- No answer after a month? Send a reminder, then complain to your data protection authority if needed.
Your letter
We do all the work for you, free
Enter your name and we find where your data shows up. Autopilot then sends the removal requests in your name, chases companies that don't answer, handles their replies and rescans you every week. You don't have to do a thing.
Questions
Can HenryProtect do this for me?
Yes, that's exactly what we do. Autopilot sends the request to Experian UK and other data brokers in your name, follows up and rescans every week. You only enter your name and confirm your email.
Is it free to remove myself from Experian UK?
Yes. Under GDPR, Experian UK has to handle an erasure request free of charge.
How long does it take?
Companies must answer within one month (Article 12(3) GDPR). For complex requests they can extend by two more months, but they have to tell you within the first month.
What if Experian UK doesn't answer?
Send a reminder after a month. If they still stay silent, you can complain to your data protection authority, for example the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens in the Netherlands or the ICO in the UK.
Can Experian UK add my data again later?
It can happen, because these companies keep collecting from new sources. That's why the letter also objects to further processing (Article 21). HenryProtect rescans every week and sends a new request if needed.
