2 accounts reporting balance, same account

drsmith · ‎06-29-2011

I got a scorewatch alert that 2 of my accounts reported a balance increase. The thing is, it's the same account. Is it because I have an AU on this card? Is this something I should be worried about?

It's a hiccup that SW experiences occasionally. They periodically think they've fixed it, and then it starts up again.

Unless the account is listed twice on your real reports, it's OK.

It is a hiccup that's never been resolved on mine -- I have two accounts that always report twice (so yes, four times). And I recently received an alert on a new account -- reported twice. But -- I love the service, generally, so overlook the foible!
