Bally's only reporting to TU

[Anonymous]

I had a sales installment loan with Bally's that is only on TU. My TU Score is 20 points higher than the others for me, and I think this account could be part of the reason why (no lates, paid in full). How can I get this account on my EX and EQ reports?

Call Bally's directly and ask them to report your loan to the other two bureaus.  Unfortunately a company can choose to report the loan to any or all of the bureaus, it's up to the specific company as far as I know.  The bureau will not ask for the information, it's all up to the company....

Thanks, I will try that.

I did that a while back and they now list it on Experian.  But still not equifax.

My local store card does not report to EX, and I have written to EX to get them to add it but they won't.  I am trying to get the store to report, because it is a very old card with a perfect history, and it would really help my EX score a lot

As info:  I just called Bally and the rep said they only report to Transunion and Experian.  So, at least you can get the assistance on Experian.

Thanks for your help!

Hmm, puts me in an interesting dilemma;

I have a good (paid) Bally's from 1990 which is giving me a nice bump on Experian (which should by all accounts be my worst score but is my best I think because of this 18 year old paid account).

I also have two CO'd Ballys from early this century that were removed from TU on my disputes in December. I plan on doing a PFD to get them off my Experian.

Question is how do I go about asking Bally's to report the good one to TU w/o having them add the bad ones?
