Does Credit Karma also only update the account and inquiry information every 7 days, or the 7 days is just for the "score." Disputed AUs with TU and when I view my real TU report online, the AUs seem to be gone, but still showing on Credit Karma.
a score is based on the report. A score cant update without the report.

I'm aware. But that still wouldn't preclude the report from updating instantly and them still only recalculating the score only once a week.

They only update the credit details once a week (the first time you log in after 7 days have passed).

Why do you need one? I think call up Experian, tell them you've gotten adverse action, and ask for a report.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

what is a charge cards implication on your credit score?
Does since it doesn't have a line of credit not have any implication if you close it ?
or they use your high balance as line of credit so it would be the same as closing a regular credit card?

Have a friend with poor credit, largely due to a delinquent student loan. He's also an authorized user to a parents card, which consistently has high utilization. He's been AU since '09. Would it be more harmful removing that b/c of the history, or more helpful as the utilization may be harming his overall score/health? TIA.

Remove those accounts, and get him added as am AU to accounts with low utilization and a clean record.

Do you mean changing cards (upgrading and downgrading)

That would be my recommendation as well; just wanted a second opinion. Thanks!

What is the best way to see my fico 04 score (mortgages) and full report as often as possible, from each agency?
At least once a month.

I mean for instance if I have amex plat. and amex preimer gold and I want to close my plat. is there a way to add the line of credit that showed by the plat. to the line of credit of the p. gold?
(in other words combining)
(I guess not really a possibility but still asking..)

Yes, you can view your EX 08 with all amex cards. Go to your online login, and one of the options should be to view your FICO score.
