Ok, I need help on where I can pull my credit report and see exactly what the people at the bank or broker see. Because I've pulled my credit report from all 3 places and don't see a few things that are showing up. I don't like being surprised and it has happened before when I went to get a car loan. A mysterious negative item popped up to them that I owed $65 to U.S. Bank. Which they never tried to contact me about, but that's not the point.

What system do they use to see these things I can't? And how can I get a full report with everything like that? It doesn't seem fair that they can hide these things untill you're ready to get a loan and then you've wasted your time because of the negative item denies you a loan.

Thanks ahead of time.

There shouldn't be anything "hidden."  You just have to make sure you have credit reports from all three CR's.  There are often things that only report to one agency and not the other.  If you have all three reports you should know everything they have.

hmm, but I've printed all 3 reports from all 3 CR's and they show everything is good

but when i went down to the place to get a car loan, it shows that i owe money

not from any credit cards or loans, but it shows i owe money to U.S. Bank for a ridiculous overdraft charge I assume.

First, pull all 3 of your reports from this website and they will comes with scores.  These are your FICO scores and are the only ones that matter.

I have my 3 scores and everything printed out.

The scores don't help much if I have negative items preventing me from getting a loan though.

Is this a different system that they pull from to get certain info like what is showing up. It's not just one place pulling that negative item either, it's many.

What are your scores and what are the negatives?  Are there late payments, collections, judgments, charge offs, maybe high util on your cc's.  Believe me if I cannot help you others at this forum can.  We do want to help, just try and be specific about the negatives and please give dates.

transunion: 625

experian: 621

equifax: 642

i filed for bankruptcy 2 years ago

i have since cleaned up all items that needed to be taken off

my only concern is that there is a negative item showing up when i go to a car dealer or a mortgage broker that does not show up on any of my credit reports

the negative item is from U.S. Bank that I owe them $65 from 3/2004

i assume this is from an overdraft charge, but they never contacted me about, this bank account has been closed for years

this is not a credit card or loan from them

1.  Just contact the places that are getting this info and ask what credit record they are getting this info from 

2.  Contact them and explain.  See if they will remove it.  

3.  If not and it is worth it to you pay for it and get a PFD (Pay for Delete) or not (not everyone will consider it) but get a letter stating you have paid in full and send it to the places that the car company or morgage company are getting the info from.

Us Bank report to Chex Systems not to the credit bureaus.  I have all my accts with them and I noticed I had a balance due when trying to open a business acct. with them.
