Myfico not current

Anonymous — Fri, 20 Jul 2007 18:52:33 GMT

Yesterday I pulled my Experian report from Experian and it showed that an account that had been listed as a charge off in error was now being reported as Paid Satisfactorly. Excited, I paid to see what my credit score was from Myfico. It was 655 and still listed the account as a charge off. Any idea why it wouldn't be current considering the updated info was already available at Experian?

Its probably because EQ and TU havent updated yet EX is probably the fastest of the 3 for updating its files.

This is probably a lag time issue. It should update soon on myfico. FYI a charge-off reporting as paid satisfactorly will not help your scores.

Even if it completely removed the charge off status? It was originally listed as a charge off and now it's not.

I am sorry, use to say paid satisfactorily/charge off with 12 90+ late payments. Now is says Paid, Closed/Never late. So surely that will boost my score.

I disagree with the "paid" charge-off not helping scores. The same goes for collections. Paid collections can boost your score 25 points.

I had an old collection on my experian report that dropped off 2 days ago and I updated my score with experian and it went up 19 points. However, Myfico clearly shows my CR the same as EX but my score has not changed. I am new to myfico can anyone help.
