No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
I just got an email from myFico that says my TransUnion Fico score has changed from 792 to "unscorable". The main dashboard still shows the score, but my alerts show the alert. Has anyone else had this happen? Is this some sort of glitch, or should I be concerned?
Call customer service & ask them.
Update: Called transUnion, and they said that an old card of mine has aged off my report. It was closed in good standing with a $0 balance in 2010, but they are reporting it closed in 2006. Both of the other CRA's are reporting as they should.
The guy from TU said there is nothing he can do since their data shows it closed in 2006. Even if true, this would mean It should still report for another two months as the date he gave was the end of October.
The problem is, without this card, my oldest credit card account will be at 4 months in two days, which means there is not enough data to extrapolate a Fico 8 score from TU since it is under 6 months.
Soooo....that being what it is, how screwed am I with my existing accounts since I no longer have a TU fico 8 score?
Update:
Transunion is now posting a score again as of today. One of my cards hit that 6 month hump, so it is now sitting at 712. Granted, my balances weren't ideal, so it will likely go up a good bit next cycle. Looks like I picked just the right moment to start working on that credit again. Had I waited just a few months, I would have been back at no score.
Anyway, just thought I would update.

Hi TheBrad,
Thanks for providing an update. I am glad to hear that TU is now posting a score again for you. That's great news! Also thanks for sharing the situation that occured with the myFICO family because this experience can help others who might be faced with a similar situation.
Glad all is well.

Hello TheBrad,
I guess your TU only shows your new cards and nothing else, no loans. If you need to improve your scores you can do the secured loan technique. If you report a better util ratio and do the technique you may jump over 750 in less than 2 months.
