Hello all,
was trying to find an up to date thread on why the credit bureaus are late reporting information that comes in from your lender, such as USAA has reported my monthly activity as usual to EX and TRN but just "parts of EQ are being released", ex: The other two bureaus have reported a large payment I've made to a loan to USAA but EQ is lagging for some reason, what would be the reason for that?? Seems almost fishy to me like the system is controlling your scores going up and down 
. It couldn't be, could it?.
I have noticed when I make large payments over 3k or so, one of the bureaus will lag and release information around that payment

no way to know for sure, but if payments are being reported timely to Exp/TU it stands to reason that it's not the lenders trying (at least intentionally) to delay reporting
but we wouldn't know if it was something lenders were doing wrong with their reporting to EQ or if EQ was just being outrageously slow in their reporting of the data they are getting from lenders
if you have an application you need EQ correct for, you can file a dispute combined with a CFPB complaint, but no way to know if that will be any faster than just waiting for updated reporting

yeah that definitely sounds like the lender doing it then, odd
wonder if it's just outdated, antiquated IT or actual policy, doesn't seem to make much sense to stagger reporting of one CRA as opposed to all of them
I don't rank USAA very highly in terms of banks/CUs, my guess is jank and incompetence as opposed to any smart, meaningful policy on their end
