Which report? (Presumably either EQ or TU.)

The info is maintained on your full reports at the credit bureaus, so you'll have to deal with them. Your myFICO reports just repeat what's on the underlying full reports.

I think OP said it's correct on his regular CRs (in the title). Sounds odd.

Oh, sorry, good catch!

One possibility is that there is a creditor who updates balances with the wrong birthdate. So after that one updates, the DOB is wrong. The next time another updates, it's right again. Depending on when you pull your reports, you could see the correct date or an incorrect one.

My address on Equifax flip-flops around this way. 

But again, it could be a problem with the myFICO report.

OP, try calling CS, although they're closed Sundays, and I'm guessing that they're closed tomorrow as well (July 4), although that's just a guess. They might be able to see something on their end.

Hi outofthewoods,

Normally, the best way to correct any info on your myFICO profile is to contact myFICO Customer Care.  This time, however, we have made the correction to the year according to your credit reports on file, so there's nothing further you need to do.
