Re: AMEX is watching me!

SisterGirl,

 

Thanks. I thought it was maybe something more straightforward like a message on the inline account. I can't see soft inquiries anywhere on my myfico reports. I know Equifax shows them at equifax.com but I don't subscribe anymore. 

 

Would they mainly survey Experian? And if so, how does one go about seeing soft inquiries on an Experian report with a requesting a physical copy of the report?...or any report?


Starting Scores (Sept 2011): All lower-mid 600s. CURRENTLY: TU FICO: 785 (2/7/13), EQ FICO 762 (2/7/13), EX FICO 776 (5/11//13) (PSECU). Goal: Achieved! Now Maintain!

You can actually see your softs on Equifax even without having a report number...go to "dispute my credit report" on the equifax page, enter your information and some security questions will be asked without the confirmation code on your report...voila! Go to inquiries and you'll see both hard and soft ones!

You are able to pull a free copy of your credit report once every 12 months at annualcreditreport.com

 

I pulled my Experian report 30 days ago, but I kept the report number and have continued to view an UPDATED report every 3 or 4 days to track soft pulls, balances, and hard pulls. All for free. Pretty terrific. I believe the report stays available for 90 days or so. 

In My Wallet: Amex BCP (12/12) $13,500, Cap1 Cash Rewards (6/12) $9,000, Barclaycard Arrival (5/13) $7,500, Citi Forward (12/12) $6,500, Chase Freedom (12/12) $5,000

In The Garden!

Amex will NEVER pull my TU report, but they do Equifax/Experian on a regular basis. What I've done in the past is take a look at my report every when I think about it...for free ! I know that they AR once a month, so I will check either one every 60-90 days (use the reason "adverse action" to get it FREE). They don't know....don't check....and I don't pay !

Re: AMEX is watching me!

I just pulled my EQ report and I'm not showing a hard or soft pull from AMEX ever. 

My AMEX cards are listed under my accounts but thats it!  I have 3 HP from my kids school and a ton of SP but no AMEX pulls ..Is that normal?

You should look at your EX report. AmEx primarily pulls EX. They will also pull others if you're borderline.
