Thank for the link I am at 718. I would really love to see me EX and TU since I have a borderline score with eq which is probably a notch higher.

The most i spent on checking my scores, was the $1 with EX. Which i guess is still paying more than getting it for free.
I am always nervous i will forget to unsubscribe from the memberships they sign you up for.

Don't forget to cancel before the trial ends, because then you're stuck with it for a 3 months agreement

Use a VCN?

With Citi IM I just use a VCN and don't bother cancelling. Never had a problem it just cancels out when the cc fails.
Think I actually need to cancel this being that I used a $1 VCN?

Have yourself taken off the account and then dispute the account to get it off your report.

Ask the primary card holder to delete you,  and then dispute it with the credit bureau.

ETA: I  see Dan beat me.  Let us know how it goes.

Your FICO score considers how recently you opened a new credit account. People who recently opened a new credit account are slightly more likely to miss future payments than those who have not.

What to do about this: Avoid opening more credit accounts at this time and as a general rule, if you don't need or plan to use credit, don't apply for it.
Yeah, Sure  ::) ::)

I have Zero pulls with Equifax.
Does anyone in NJ pull it and are worth applying for?

That account is long closed and went to collections awhile back. Can they take me off even tho that account isn't opened anymore?
