Why is my equifax score lagging!

[sihmud]

hi all,

i filed BK back in 2021, DC was 02/2022. have some pretty decent cards with pretty good limits. i want a PENFED card. i know they pull EQ FICO 9 so i have been monitoring that score and waiting for it to hit a decent number before applying. here's the thing, that score isn't moving! while all my other scores as soaring and between 670-695 Equifax seems to stay between 605-615. even when I paid all my credit cards off and all my scores fluctuated up about 20-30 points, Equifax moved between 2-6 points.. **bleep**?!

pull your official EQ report: https://annualcreditreport.com/ 

likely something isn't being reported right from your BK on EQ compared to TU/EX

I would pull your report and very slowly go through everything on it.  There has to be something that is not reporting correctly, take advantage of the free credit report and give yourself the benefits of the hardwork you have been doing with a dispute if needed.

What exactly should I be looking out for? All theee reports seem to match. All accounts show included in BK. it's just the fico 9 score thats stays low. All other EQ scores are decent.
