Re: Credit Score Drop?
« Reply #140 on: January 12, 2012, 08:17:37 PM »
it is strange that payments are not reported to credit bureaus  for  weeks. I made all the card payments over 2 weeks ago and have 0 balance but my latest updated  credit report shows them as balance due.  I always pay balances before due dates to keep  my CL high.

My scores have dropped  few points due to few HARD INQUIRIES in the last 8 months but the recent payments should have reflected on my credit report and they are not.
 
what's happening?

I got the latest updates reports and scores yesterday/

I don't know about AMEX, but Citi's identity monitor's 3 fico scores are the real deal.
Yes, I've gotten the free month at least 6 times already.

I just did citi and it says my EX is unrated and my others are like 720 seems weird.

Hi,

If i am getting an auto insurance quote, I was told that I got a soft pull.

Does it hurt me if i get multiple quotes?

TIA

Bumpage. Basically you check your credit reports every day and after some time the inquiry falls off. This has something to do with the CR only being able to contain a limited amount of inquires so once you overload it with you own inquiries, the real ones fall off.

Does anyone have any info on this? Sounds very interesting

Don't get your hopes up. It doesn't work for Experian.

if they gave u access thru a free trial u should b able to excess it as many times as u want until it expires .
And make sure to cancel it


If u work for a living, why kill urself working?

Just checked my credit score on Quizzle and Creditsesame.com, It's 590 on Quizzle and 675 on Creditsesame. Why is there such a large gap and which one is more accurate???
Do you think the score is good enough to be approved for Chase CC, I did 3BM yesterday?

Neither of them are accurate at all.

How can I obtain accurate score, indirectly. I already used my yearly credit check on all 3 agencies.

IIRC EX does not have a free trial for FICO score but EQ does.

Only on DDF does 24/6 mean 24/5/half/half
