Do i have to update Experian myself ?

A question about : Do i have to update Experian myself ?

I'm trying to sort my credit score out and get out of debt. I had a credit card with Tesco which was paid off and closed in August 2012. The last time they updated my credit file with Experian was in April 2012. I have spoken to them today and was told there was nothing they could do. They eventually agreed to send me a letter stating the account was paid and closed. Is it just me or when your trying to get yourself sorted they never want to help. I'm really annoyed and upset. Is this right that they can't update my file and I have to do it myself?

Best answers:

• When you say you closed it in 2012 did you just cut the card up or did you call them and ask for it to be put in writing that the account was closed?
  Did you not wonder why you were still receiving statements for 3 extra years?
  Has the account been marked as lots of green zeros since then or lots of U's?
  Get a copy of your credit report in 2 months time and check that the account has moved over to the settled section.
  In the grand scheme of things, no harm done. There is no need to be upset.
