Re: which credit beaureu is the hardest

All you posters with lower EX scores, do you have some sort of feel for why they are lower than the others? (Lotsa inqs, BK's, whatever) I don't know why EX likes me so far, but I'm pitifully grateful, and I'd like to keep things smooth with them. You know my theories about EQ and lates and relatively short history.

I only have a 3 point spread between high and low but there are a few more nqs on my EX than on TU and EQ. I have 5 on EX 1 on TU and 0 on EQ. All my reports are nearly identical. There is a stray old closed account here and there that is picked up on one not another etc etc.

EX just hits me harder for inqs. It's probably the type of inqs but that is why my score is lower on EX.

Re: which credit beaureu is the hardest

I find EQ is tough on me. Followed by EXP. I guess TU likes me the best

TU: 676
EXP: 665
EQ: 633 Smiley Sad

EX has never reported 3 Amex accounts: one 27 years old (AU), one 28 years (AU) and my Blue card 10 months old.

I thought EX and AmEx were cozy--why wouldn't EX report?

They both blame the other. What I really want are the the two old ones to report and just forget about the blue card. I have the feeling if the two oldest report, my scores will go up quite a bit...just in time before I start apping again for a mortgage.

Does this mean no Guam relocation?

This may help as an overall difference...

Balances                                   15%

Depth of credit                           13%

Recent credit                             10%

Available credit                            7%

Total                                        100%

 FICO score

Payment history                         35%

Length of credit history               15%

Amounts owed                           30%

Types of credit uses                   10%

New credit                                 10%

 Total                                       100%
