Re: Any Score Change (Discontinued as of 7/13/08)
Does this mean that subscribers are no longer notified of any score change since last alert... this is one of the best features of the product and why i subscribed, why oh why would this awesome feature be discontinued
....And since it looks like you haven't seen your EFX score for awhile, a free report has been added to your SW account so you can set your target to the most up-to-date score. Good luck!

If it's been a while since you've pulled your EQ, it might not be the one that you currently have, so it might not be the optimal target score. It is up to you as to whether you want to pull a fresh score to use for the current target. Some people pick a score 40 points higher as their target score. That score might be their goal, but it doesn't work for triggering score alerts, unless your score suddenly jumps 40+ points. So just go with the newest score you have, and don't forget to reset your target every time you get a new score.

Yes, but when will I be notified? I know about a change in my EQ report + I know my old score, but I haven't seen the alarm so far. What I see is that it takes ~1 week+.
Why is SW so slow?
My EQ went from $0 to 5$, and therefore the number of accounts with balance went up. This changed my TU and EX, and I'm sure that is also the case for EQ. Are you able to tell me my schedule for future SW checks? I can not imagine that this is just random.
