Alert and score change

[Anonymous]

So if you get an alert does your credit score update automatically if it changed?

[Anonymous]

No. It depends what the alert is about. It could be an alert for an account status change. Happened to my wife just last week and no points went up or down

No, it doesn't.  To see a change thus if you are referring to MyFico, you have to pull a fresh report..

Be aware that myFICO is trigger based.

Not all activity with a scoring impact is a trigger.  You cannot rely solely on alerts to determined the cause(s) of a scoring change and must carefully review reports from before and after the change.
