Is it just me or does EQ get pulled a lot?

Anonymous · ‎03-01-2015

I have the most inquiries from EQ.

- Discover (surprised they didn't pull TU)

- Comcast

- Verizon Wireless

- My landlord

TU has 2 for me and EX has 1

90% of my inquiries are on EQ but I thought it depended on your area, when I was in the northeast, it seems everyone pulled TU

I guess it depends where. For me it seems they always pull EX.

Starting: 2/3/2015 l EQ: 752 TU: 744 EX: 749
Goal: EQ: 801 TU: 780 EX: 785

They do get pulled alot which is one reason mine is frozen. More lenders pull (prefer) them over TU and EX.

CURRENT SCORES: TU: 698 21 Apps / EX: 644 28 Apps / AAoA: 4.4 Yrs. / Util. 5% / Goal: 750 by 12/22

It's not just you. It's never just one person. However, as stated above, even so it does vary. Some have more inquiries on Experian.

I'm evenly split across all CRAs at 4 INQs, but that was purposeful on my part during an extensive re-building phase where I needed to open a lot of new accounts. I know Amex pulls EX and so did my landlord, DCU is just EQ, and then Barclays is just TU. Citi always wants to see EX as well as EQ, at least for me.

Based on what I'm seeing on the credit pulls database, for my part of the country EX is the most likely pull if a creditor doesn't have an exclusive CRA (e.g., Discover). But as always, YMMV.

While applying for a car loan it seemed as though every lender pulled EQ except when they pulled EQ and EX! Good thing I'm not in gardening mode.

MyFako scores EX 594, EQ 553, TU 589 as of 10 Jun 11
myFICO EQ 614 TU 599 EX 644
Goal 700 by March 30 2015

Yes. Beginning last year, seem like my EQ was hit all the time. Now my EX (6) is even with EQ (6) - thanks to Citi, Amex & Chase end of 2014.

Only (2) with TU.

In Georgia, Equifax is dominant. Their headquarters is in Atlanta, that probably has something to do with it.
