My fico is contradicting itself.

Something is SERIOUSLY WRONG HERE...

 

 

These are screen shots, all from the same report.

 

I've had a installment loan for 2 months now...

 

One reason why Fico says my score is low..

 

Farm and Fleet $3,000 (AU) Paypal Extras MC $1,500
Barclay's Apple Visa $1,200 QVC Qcard $800
Amazon Store Card $600 Discover $500
Walmart MC $400 Victoria's Secret $350
Credit One $300 Fingerhut $200
TU Fico 626

Re: My fico is contradicting itself.

Now..after doing some research, I found the following.

 

1. Fico does NOT count installment loans as UTL.

2. AU's are NOT counted as UTL.

3. Closed accounts are NOT counted unless it shows a balance.

 

Now...agian, all this info is from the same report.

 

Fico shows I have a revolving credit balance of $446. This is CORRECT, but we will go into detail. Note the wally card is not yet on EX.

 

Fico shows my UTL is 19 percent!!

 

Paypal Rewards MC $0/$1500 

Amazon $0/$600

QVC $0/$800

Victoria's Secret $0/$350

Fingerhut $0/$300

OCCU $299/$500 (closed, but has a balance)

Discover $147/$300

 

Total balance: $446 (this checks out with myfico.com)

Total Credit limit: $4,350 (this also checks out fine).

 

Percentage: 10.25%

 

NO WHERE NEAR 19!

 

Even if we remove the closed occu card, we get 3.8%, actually less.

 

I know this wouldn't make normal people mad, but myfico is not correctly calcuating my UTL!

Re: My fico is contradicting itself.

Got a screen shot of it saying your UTL is 19%?

 

OCCU balance owed is counted towards UTL but the CL is not.

 

Edit: also, your siggy shows more cards and some diff CLs than what you listed in your thread.

Re: My fico is contradicting itself.

Isn't the 4 in the red box representative of the 4th issue? 

 

 You won't want to hear this but 45 inq isn't helping. How many over the last 6 months? Aggressive credit speaking damages your fico and profile to creditors. 

 

 What baddies are on your reports?

No, the screenshot the OP posted is a cut and paste from 2 different screens on the MyFico report. The 4 means ithe OP has at least 3 other negative issues. Inquiries is probably another one of them

 

For instance on my report OP's  #4 is my #2 and inquiries is #3 so for OP inquiries could be #5 or higher

Re: My fico is contradicting itself.

In other words, yes. The 4 in the red box is representative of the 4th issue.

maybe im reading too much into the OP. I think the OP knows there are multiple issues. It's saying the OP needs non-mortgage installment loans but OP has non-mortgage installment loans.
