Alternative to CreditKarma?

zerobacan — Sun, 31 Mar 2013 15:58:39 GMT

Hello is there an alternative to CreditKarma that I can pull info daily from TU?

I used to check my Credit Karma everyday, but now it went to a weekly check and the info right now is not updated since January!

There's smartcredit, but it's not free. I can't think of not one that pulls TU daily for free!

Right, CK still updates daily for me. Just "click" update score manually.

I saw that credit Karma's iPhone app only updates once a week now.

The CK mobile apps have all gone to weekly updates. Many on the website have also changed to weekly. CK website will soon be weekly for everyone. This was asked about and confirmed on CK's Facebook a few weeks ago.

As mentioned, CreditKarma has switched some people over to the new design with only weekly updates and some people still have the old design and can update daily. Pretty soon all will be moved over to the new design with weekly updates. Sucks. Liked checking my score everyday.

This explains it. Here's to hoping I'll be switched last!

Its only like $15 to get TU CMS, an 1 3 bureau report every month. Not that bad.

That's sweet! Thanks! I just went to the full website on my phone, updated the report. Out of cycle update worked. Then I logged out and went into the app and viola! Updated. I just paid down a lot of credit card balances and really wanted to see the new utilization before April 7th. Down from 75% to 55% to 39%...wooo hooo!

That was my favorite feature of CK. The score is kinda meaningless but at least it was good to check TU info daily if wanting to check for something erroneous.

Being they seem to be nearly CC Advertising supported, they might miss the traffic. I know they'll see me less frequently now.

[EDIT]: Yes, I was switched to the new "Improved" junk yesterday...... yippie.

I got switched to the new design - once a week updates only.

The biggest problem I have with the new site is that there are so many bugs and stuff that is malfunctioning that I don't even use creditkarma anymore.

I'm confused about CK.

Am I suppose to put more stock in their "transrisk" score or the vantage score?

I once dropped from 97% utl to 6% and only got a 4 pt boost from CK.

Still I check it often, perhaps out of habit.
