Re: My journey to Rebuilding

Depends on which report/score you are most interested in.  I use a couple of freebie services - CreditSesame (EX), CreditKarma (TU) and MyFico (EQ) - the FAKOs are useless from CreditSesame and CreditKarma, but I can see the changes on my reports weekly/monthly.  I've had so many changes over the last few months that I'm more interested in what's being updated/changed/added than the score.  I get the EQ score from here when I get scorewatch alerts and a TU FICO via my Walmart card.  I can't buy EX anyway, so I just roll with the FAKO movements there.

Start: (2-26): EQ 602 (Myfico) TU 579 (Credit Karma) EX 634 FAKO
Current: (7-12): EQ 690(myfico) WalmartTU 696 EX 689 (lender 6-3)

Re: My journey to Rebuilding

So I can get weekly free reports for EX and TU from CreditSesame and CreditKarma? MyFico is equifax but I need to pay for updated reports correct?

Re: My journey to Rebuilding

So, I paid my overdue student loans to Great Lakes financial. And through some miracle I got an email from Credit Karma.... all 3 accounts are now showing current and I got a big bump in my TU - FAKO....Smiley Happy of 56 points... I'll have to see what effect this has on my actual FICO score soon.

Re: My journey to Rebuilding

That's awesome!

 

Yes, with MyFico you have to pay to pull updated reports after the first 2.  You get one immediately when  you sign up and then you have one extra you can use.  After that, it's a discounted price to pull new reports.  I'm hanging on to my 2nd for a while - the scorewatch alerts are enough to keep me from pulling my full report yet.

Re: My journey to Rebuilding

Its been awhile since I've updated so I will edit the original post here:

 

 

Capital one - Pays as agreed but maxed at 105% ($300 Limit) already paid down to zero

 

National Grid - 90 days past due $934 overdue - was on payment arrangement. Payed $250/month on autopay but when a bill was higher then normal it broke my agreement without me knowing. Only shows on EQ report

 

 

WFFNB - Payment After Charge Off /Collection (last claimed activity 5/2009) No history reported that shows actual lates

 

Wells Fargo Dealer Services - Bad debt/collection opened 9/2008 closed 4/2009 

This was an amount due when I totalled our car but we were upside down without GAP insurance. It also shows a $0 balance and closed/paid? Not sure how to address this. - TransUnion Deleted still waiting EX and EQ

 

The biggest issue here... my student loans (3 accounts all went late due to some confusion on my part ( I closed bank account that was paying them and thought I had set up via my other bank... I had not... and my contact info was old so I didnt know about this until I checked my scores)

 

AES/Goal Financial - 60 days past due 3/2013 current May 2013

AES/Goal Financial - 60 days past due 3/2013 current May 2013

Worst Delinquency

None Reported

The Worst Delinquency reports the worst missed payment status that has been documented on this account. Your FICO® score evaluates how recently that missed payment occurred and in general, the more recent, the more impact it has on your score. However, the fact that it occurred is still predictive of future payment risk and could be considered by your FICO® score.
