Penfed

Hello,

 

I recently applied for Penfed membership and totally forgot my EQ was frozen. I expected an email or phone call to unfreeze EQ but never got one, instead i was granted membership. Any idea whats going on? Tried to app for a CC and was told EQ was frozen. I asked if they pull credit for membership and they said yes. How did they not pull mines?

Welcome to MyFico.. Smiley Happy

 

I don't know off hand what they pull, even though I have PenFed products. Perhaps they pulled a different CB?

ETA: A search on the board shows they pull TU & Ex so you probably got a TU HP for membership.. 

If you unlock EQ and call back they will probably proceed with your App. 

 

CHEERS

 

**Love your siggy btw**Heart

Thanks Pikaboo-icu. All my CBs are frozen. The Rep said they pull EQ but mines wasnt pulled, in fact non of my reports were. I am now in the process of unfreezing EQ so they can process my CC app. Weird!

Re: Penfed

As far as I know, Penfed mostly pulls EQ for both new apps and quarterly reviews...mostly.

Re: Penfed

I have noticed Penfed creeping my TU report. So maybe they pulled your TU OP.

To my knowledge, Penfed will only pull Equihack for credit related products. They love their EquifaxSmiley Sad
