Credit Inform is out.

Just got a letter from The Jones son Capital One. Credit Inform will no longer be used as of June of this year. Anyone else get this letter ? I used but barely. Will the free report be just as good or a step down?

Seriously Credit Karma? Why not Experian or Eq ?

Re: Credit Inform is out.

yeah capital one really missed the ball on this one. CK scores are almost always lower than true FICO scores because CK doesnt take into consideration closed accounts for AAOA.

I just got my letter yesterday from Capital One.  I actually liked seeing my score each month (even though it was a FAKO) and will miss it.

Cap One Quicksilver ($10,000); Barclays Rewards WMC ($7200); Lowes ($4050); Wal-mart ($3250); HSN ($1800); Amazon ($2300); Sportsmans Guide Visa ($1400); Target ($700); Victoria's Secret ($900)

Re: Credit Inform is out.

I got the letter, I was kinda upset because I liked this program even though it only updated my reports every quarter I still liked the scoring.

Funny, my Credit Karma score is almost always higher than my FICO score.  I have a few closed accounts - student loans that transferred companies - that are among my oldest accounts, so you would think it'd be the other way around.  Who knows, I guess something else is coming into play.
