Waste of Money

Is Scorewatch just a complete waste of money?  I have my settings set to alert me whenever my score changes.  I hadpaid down over 50% of my utlization and got alerts a couple of times.  Now I am down to between and 6-8% and should have gotten an alert, but didn't.  I had one free score power left so I used it yesterday and sure enough my score was up 20 points.   All I really cared about was the score and I should have gotten that free instead of wasting my last free score power.

I've had it two or three times here and over at EQ. I'm dumping it before the renewal on the 20th. Much cheaper to just go buy the full FICO every two months if you want a peek that often using the discount codes.

Change your target score to your current score and repeat as your score changes for the most alerts.

Re: Waste of Money

Same thing happened to me and when I called EQ they told me to turn off all the alerts and target score for best results. It is still the same though. Slow to go up and fast to go down.

SmartCookie is right.  Each time you get an Alert, change your Target Score to the new score from your Alert.  Be sure to click SET.

Suze has no relationship with Scorewatch. Smiley Happy

I have no idea what their business relationship is, and I'm not a huge Suze fan, either.
