Matrix of which credit report will be pulled

Hello, does anyone have a matrix of which of the three credit reports will be pulled by which lender?

 

I know this is generally regional, and at one point in time I did seek lenders on the opposite side of the country to pull my transunion score, and then selectively allow a pull on an exquifax score from a lender on this side of the country, for instance

 

 

but at this point its too confusing because I can't keep up, and everyone is just in the midwest now. 

 

I get a highly disproportionate amount of pulls on my Experian #, obviously lowering the score. Where my other company scores actually increase in the same amount of time! I am deemed more credit worthy by those other scores and would prefer to knock them down if I plan to leave the garden, or if I have to get my credit pulled like in a background check

Just curious how are you "selectively" allowing lenders to pull certain reports?

I read it as OP choosing the lender based on what report they pull. 


Starting Score: ~500 (12/01/2008)
Current Score: EQ 681 (04/05/13); TU 98 728 (01/06/12), TU 08? 760 (provided by Barclay 1/2/14), TU 04 728 (lender pull 01/12/12); EX 742 (lender pull 01/12/12)
Goal Score: 720

Re: Matrix of which credit report will be pulled

OP, do a google search for "credit pulls database".  That will also give you info on which creditors pull which CRA.  You can use the drop down to select the creditor and state if you wish to help narrow it down for you.

me too. You might try whogavemecredit.com

If you are looking for a TU puller, try Barclay. If you need an EQ puller, try Discover.

OP please clarify because I read it as maybe OP travels and pulls the trigger in say Chicago,New york, Texas depending on what region?

Before you app think...
Have you done your research of the CC?
Does it fit your spending?
Do you have a plan for the bonus w/o going into debt?
Can you afford the AF?
Do you know the cards benefits? Is it worth the HP?
