CK reporting reliably?

Jaylima91 — Fri, 19 Sep 2014 02:38:49 GMT

So I get on CK and for some reason they are showing my Capital One has been removed from Transunion. I haven't closed the account though. It's still open but just SD and I know capital one hasn't closed because there has been minor activity on that card. Would anybody know why this is happening? How reliable is CK with these reports. I would guess that is reliable since they get the reports directly from TU

It might be that cap1 isnt reporting only because it might have a 0 balance or no activity. Do you have a 0 balance on it? Because some lenders wont report then.

No I currently have a $60 balance and the last reported balance was this month for a total of $100. That's why I'm not understanding. There's activity.

There was a post yesterday about someone's Chase card being removed from CK even though it should have been there. One possibility was that it was a bug with CK. It would worry me and I'd probably check with the lender. My CK is due for an update tomorrow. I wonder if this is widespread.

CK has been a little off (or a lot).

A US TU rep and I were laughing about this, no biggy! Cause I can wait.

They had me dispute a ca that agreed to Pfd. They then had me dispute 10 accounts for early removal. I called into TU to see what's up, when ck reported the CA as removed (experian has already removed them), and the others still sitting there.

The central American reps can't give out results of disputes in progress, but US reps can. She said all the early excluded TL's were off, they were waiting for response from the CA, which of course, they won't do.

So CK had the report backwards. Maybe by next month it will report properly. OR, they get a vested interest in keeping low scores low, who knows. One can always contact tech support if the report doesn't update correctly.

There was also another poster that stated cap one replaced a card used at home depot, it just appeared in the mail. I forgot to ask if they replace the reported TL also.

@imperfectfuture that makes perfect sense. Recently my card was replaced by Capital One due to data breach issues for protection. And of course my account number was also changed. That was my initial though in this

I just checked CK this morning and I lost 3 points because my Auto loan was, according to them, removed because it was paid in full as of August. I sure hope this is an error as it killed my AAOA and I thought closed accounts reported for 10 years?

In my case, CK has been horribly innaccurate at least on the scoring side.

My report looks the same, but my CK score is like 60 points lower than my actual FICO score, so I'm not sure what formulas they use to determine yoru score.

It stays on your report for 10 yeas. But the moment it was closed. The lender stops reporting. 3 points means. The mix of accounts is list. Not because you paid it off.

Do you still have open I stamens loans?

it would still count as part of aa of a. Even closed.

Never concern yourselves with CK's FAKE score ok? I would imagine that it's done on purpose because if they got too close to duplicating FICO scores regularly CK would have to pay for those scores themselves from FICO.

I paid off my installment loan as well. The car loan was paid in full because I refinanced with my local CU. When I checked my credit report through CK it stated removed from report because paid in full and closed?? My CU is already reporting. My AAoA is like 2 months now. I only use CK for reporting purposes but now I'm concerned.
