USBAR - FREEZE EQUIFAX - WILL THEY PULL?

I tried searching but haven't gotten any info anywhere. 

 

My Equifax report has quite a few inquiries and would like US Bank to pull TU or EX instead as USBAR is very inquiry sensitive. If I freeze EQ report, will they pull from others or just decline? I know many just pull from other reports, but don't know about US Bank. 

 

Thank you so much for your insight!

 

Note: Florida apps always pull EQ from what I can see with US Bank

I'm in Central Florida.  I was approved for 3 US Bank cards over the past 2 years, and each application resulted in a TU inquiry.

It's been several years, but TU was pulled.

I did this for my BIZ card with them. I keep my EX and EQ due to the INQs (EX=5, EQ=3, and TU=0). They pulled TU, however I'm not in FL.

Re: USBAR - FREEZE EQUIFAX - WILL THEY PULL?

So I went ahead and applied and it was indeed EQ. Being a dummy I didn't just freeze the eq report and do my own test 🤦🏻‍♂️ 😂. 

Needless to say, I was declined. I'm positive it's due to the inquiries.

SinceI started my rebuild I have kept all my files freezen at all times, and I only unfreeze when I know I'm going to apply for something.
