No more Transunion CS?

Anonymous — Fri, 20 May 2011 19:02:38 GMT

I tried to purchase my TU fico score here on myFIco today, but I got an error page stating they could not verify my identity and that I needed to call in to answer questions. The message also stated to have loan and credit card statements available. I called, rep started asking me to confirm info but I wasn't in the mood to divulge my SSN which is probably petty of me but sometimes I just don't feel secure giving out that info over the phone. Anyway - she couldn't verify without that info and my TU FICO purchase is now locked.

So I tried going to TU Consumer Solutions to purchase my score but everytime I type in the email address it automatically routes to the regular TU website which only seems to give the option to receive a free credit score with the purchase of their credit monitoring service. There is no mention of FICO so I assume the score would be a FAKO.

So am I to assume one can now only purchase their TU FICO score here?

That seems to be the case. Several months ago for whatever reason TU decided to stop selling their TU FICO score through the transunioncs.com website.

From a BK years ago to:
EX - 3/11 pulled by lender- 835, EQ - 2/11-816, TU - 2/11-782

Booo! I guess I'll have to call myFico back and divulge my life history.

Thanks for the feedback.

I'm not sure divulging your SSAN over the phone to a CRA CSR is any more riskier than typing it into an Online form. Either can be compromised.
