Hello, I have an EQ membership and noticed this on my credit score details. I've noticed it for a while, but I finally looked at it closer. Note, it says this is one of the factors hurting my score. However, I can't find anything in my credit report that lines up with the message. It even says $0 right underneath it.

Anyone have any idea why this is there and who I can reach out to in order to get it removed?

Is the their own scoring model? If it is, I wouldn't worry about it. I've never seen FICO use this comment before.

That's a good point. Do you recommend I drop that account and just use what myFICO offers?

I definitely recommend monitoring your FICO scores... whether it's here or thru another site. To monitor your credit only, you can sign up for free sites like Credit Karma and Wallethub....just ignore their score's. Depending on how often you want to see your scores, there are various ways to obtain them for little money. Do you have any open accounts that give you free FICO scores?
