EQ Early Exclusion...Advice?

My husband and I are applying for a home loan next week, we have an appointment on Tuesday.  The only "baddie" is a car loan from NFCU.  He successfully had EE with Experian.  He's calling Tranusnion now, that leaves Equifax.

 

I've read some bad reviews regarding EQ's EE, any tips?  Ask for a supervisor, offer our first born?

 

Credit reports state that the DofD was 1/2015, however, the vehicle was totalled in March of 2014, USAA sent a payment on 9/14/2014.  We made no additional payments.  I'm not sure if we should ask for EE with EQ or provide the last payment information in a dispute.

 

My thought is to attempt EE, if that doesn't work then go forward with a dispute, but I don't know how that works with a mortgage application. 

 

A side note, in less than a year my credit scores (Fico) have gone up over 200 points.  Hubby's +120 right now, hopefully another +40 with the EE and his utilization updating this week, from 58% to 1%.  We couldn't have done it without the forums.  So, thanks so much to everyone Smiley Happy

Re: EQ Early Exclusion...Advice?

Based on the reports I've come across, I wouldn't attempt EE with EQ.

 

TU and EX seem to work just fine in a variety of cases, but EQ will mess things up -- so keep your first born. Best to leave things alone given the short time window for your mortgage application or you'll likely be spending a lot of time trying to fix things with EQ.  Just do a search on here (or the Rebuilding Your Credit subforum) for some DPs on EE EQ.

 

I'm sure other members will likely chime in.

In addition, don't dispute anything before applying for a mortgage. Lenders don't like this and will ask you to have it removed/resolved.
