I am not getting my Credit Alerts

[Anonymous]

I just signed up for Scorewatch two days ago and got my first alert today...Up 7 precious FICO points.

No idea why but I'll take it and assume it's just aging and paying on time.

Scorewatch works great, but only if you manually update your scores by purchasing them.

I have been waiting for some kind of ScoreWatch Alert so I would know to pull my reports and make sure a mistake from EQ was fixed. Today I manually pulled my report and

(surprise!)  I simultaneously received an alert that my EQ score jumped about 100 points.

The way I see it, ScoreWatch is good for telling you something you already know.

I'm new to score watch (about 2 weeks) so I thought maybe it was taking awhile to alert me.  Glad to see I'm not the only one having problems.  I signed up b/c the website advertised daily monitoring and but I've not been alerted to anything. I pulled my report and saw that there was a 6 point increase.  Not alot but I set it to alert me when my credit score reached 620 and that didn't happen.  Hopefully it'll get better.  I'm still holding on to my theory that it's not working b/c I'm new.

If anything, a lot of people have posted that it worked like a dream at first --trial period! --and then it went phlpbbt. When it is working, there does seem to be about a 48 hour delay. I have seen a big change on a True Credit report, and grimly waited to hear from Score Watch, and it seems to average 2 days.
