Apping with DCU. TU only?

Apping for auto loan tomorrow and wondering if there is any way I can get DCU to use Transunion only?  Here's why:

 

 http://i62.tinypic.com/1r55c5.png    Scores in signatue.  (Maybe a mod can edit this to actually show?  Guess I'm too new to post pics..)

 

TU is my only squeaky clean, albeit thin file (3y AAOA).  The others have a nasty timeshare loan thats got lates at 120 days and is 5 years old. 

 

If I can't get DCU to go for it, what auto lenders will reliably pull TU only? 

Starting scores: Around 519 (Pulled for auto loan in 2009)
Current FICO8: EQ 667 / TU 793 / EX 643
Credit Karma Vantage 3.0: TU 748 / EQ 701
Credit.com Vantage 3.0: TU 694 EX 704

DCU will not pull TU.  They exclusively pull EQ on most occasions.  They will pull EX if you request it.

675 EQ FICO is their next tier, so I would wait to apply if I were you. 675 is what gets you the 2.49 and below.



Starting Score: EQ: 383 2/2011
Current Score: TU: 644 EQ: 648 EX: 6?? 2/2015
Goal Score: 700

Re: Apping with DCU. TU only?

Thanks everybody for the answers.  Waiting one more day for another card to report.

 

Since I am not a member, is it better to apply for membership first before applying for an auto loan?  Trying to make sure they don't do multiple pulls if they don't need to.

Re: Apping with DCU. TU only?

Most apply for membership before a loan product.  I did the opposite, approved for loan, then joined.  It's up to you, either way, it's two pulls.

We just applied for membership and an auto loan. The second pull just reported today, but no score change!

I applied for both, auto loan and membership at the same time. In retrospect, I should have applied and received my membership before applying for an auto loan, it would have made the auto loan process much faster.

Re: Apping with DCU. TU only?

Well.  I applied to DCU and got 24,000 @ 3.99 if I open an account. 

 

Very disappointed.  I was hoping for at least 30k.  Do they recon, or is it generally a one shot deal?  Can I ask them to pull additional bureaus for consideration?
