Credit Sesame Now Uses Transunion?

[Anonymous]

Forgive me if this has been covered but when did this change apply? I've always known it to be Experian but I had an alert today and it says score and credit information powered by Transunion.

Few weeks ago. Totally useless now, as opposed to just slightly useless. Don't understand the draw of a free CS account when CK updates 4x more often and gives you significantly more information.

Yes, totally useless. I can't believe I didn't notice before. They have the weirdest scoring system too. My Lowes card (this was the alert) went from 22% to 59% and it bumped my Fako up 4 points. If only that happened in Fico land!

The one positive abot Credit Sesame is how quickly they update.  I applied for a few credit cards last weekend, and I would get an alert about the new pull within 15 minutes of it happening.  I thought that was pretty impressive.

No clue why they did this.. Just use credit.com for your monthly EX FAKO updates now I guess.

Well crap, that sucks. The only reason I held onto it was to get a FAKO Experian score every month  

Anyone know where else I could get one for free?

Yeah, it's a total waste. I deleted the app from my phone yesterday. Apparently, if you disable your account they prevent you from signing up for a new one for the next year...

Apparently, Credit.com is still using Experian.

You're right! I just got an email alert and logged on. Zoomed down to the bottom and saw the disclaimer. Eh, might as well 86 that site.

I know!  I saw that today also.  I was wondering the same thing.
