No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
I have 4 credit cards. Equifax and TU report all 4, but experian reports only 3. It's a shame, because the one they don't report is an old trade line, never been late, and it's less than 20% utilization.
Any idea on how to get experian to report it?
The earlier-mentioned address (or whatever) update may cause it to refresh onto your report, if the lender routinely reports to EX and the acocunt just hasn't been matched up to your file yet.
However, lenders are not required to report to all three bureaus. Some don't. If your lender is one that for whatever reason doesn't report to EX, nothing you can do will cause the account to appear. Lenders are not required to report, at all. Most do, of course, but there is nothing you can do to force one to report if they don't want to. The only obligation to them is that if they do report, they do it accurately.
I spoke with NFCU, they are claiming they do report to all 3. They do on other tradelines I have, just not this particular credit card.
I'm applying for the mortgage at the moment, and don't want to rock the boat, but it would probably help for me to have this report.
Done. I did it using their web site. The CC is supposed to report next week anyway, maybe it will go out to all three then.
