I hate the changes at CreditKarma!

CountryLivin — Mon, 07 Aug 2017 00:43:10 GMT

I have been using CreditKarma for a few years now and it wasn't bad, but in the last 3 months or so they have changed and I hate it!!!! Now they are pretty much exactly the same as Credit Sesame. I never really went by the scores, but I liked the info I would get from it....now it is just plain awful!

Explain these changes please.

It's hard to explain because they take you by surprise, and you don't have an opportunity to look at a "before" and "after." But one thing is that it's much harder — if not impossible — to look back at your history.

I admit I didn't like it at first but I do like it now.

There used to be a section on the front page that showed "What's Changed?" since your last update. Had all my collection info, those that have been removed, which was awesome to see what I've acomplished during my rebuild. Glad to see I'm not the only one who liked the old CK more than the new version.

That was the feature I liked the most, it was so nice to see what changed on your reports and why you went up or down.

If you want that feature take a look at https://my.bankrate.com/

They allow you to compare past reports to your current report or any inbetween.

That is also the feature I liked the most. I wonder if there is any way for us to ask them to bring it back.

So I found the old link but it redirects you if you have the new version. One of my accounts still shows the old version

The original version from about 2 years ago where you could easily see all your credit cards's balances either current or day it was reported last was my favorite. By having them all listed there you can see which banks are lagging and whether or not your score could climb a little bit more in the next couple of days when it does report. Now You have to dig, and its dumb. I would agree every time they change something it's more and more like all the other free ones; nothing is making them stand out anymore. Credit Sesame still makes sure to tell me that I paid something off. That's their signature move. Of course I know I paid it off I don't have any golf money.

Yeah I will admit I did like the older version a little better.

Bankrate seems to give you more information and makes it easier to look at trends.

I notice myFICO is also no longer showing history unless you buy the monthly. Without digging around for better deals I dropped the money on a 3b here last month and it is gone. No record of it except the bill. No scores on my history. For how absurdly expensive this site is you would think they would track any score you paid for over time.

The older version was definitely better

But I don't dislike the new version anywhere near as I hate the new AMEX format

Funny, I kind of like the newer Amex. At least better than the older one. Now the new Chase, I can't stand at all.
