Equifax showing 2 30+ day payment


On Myfico, Equifax is showing whats labeled as a "good payment history" in yellow but lists I've had (2) 30+ day payments. Since I've never been late/missed any payments I immediately went to have this disputed but was told by myfico they just report what equifax gives them and i would have to dispute with them. I have a letter from the two card accounts its claimed its happened on saying Chase Bank didn't report ANY late payments ever and Equifax doesn't physically show anything there when I look up payment history on my credit report pulled through them so all of my disputes have been closed. 

 

How do I get myfico to take the accusation off of my profile? Equifax is saying they haven't reported it like that; Chase Bank is saying they've never reported anything late either. Equifax is the only agency reporting; transunion/experian have no reported late payments

Re: Equifax showing 2 30+ day payment

Pull your full report from Annualcreditreport.com to confirm the information- these are the most comprehensive and accurate reports available (aside from hard copy paper versions sent by mail). They are free to pull. 

 

It's possible this is a myFICO glitch displaying erroneous data. They do pull directly from the bureaus but data has been known to get a bit 'mixed up' during the transfer. 

 

If no lates appear on your Annualcreditreport.com report, then you can contact myfico cust service, provide them with a copy, and request they provide a new, free report pull for Equifax which may fix the issue. 

 

Do the scores on myFICO reflect the large drop expected from to late payments, or have they remained unchanged?

Re: Equifax showing 2 30+ day payment

I have already one paper version which Equifax sent at the conclusion of my first dispute case. Is it still a good idea to provide a second one from annualcreditreport.com?

 

I stopped paying for myfico back in 2016 after closing on a house, as i bought a new vehicle the same day (credit was highest it had ever been and mortgage hadn't hit yet)- I had no need to really pay much attention considering I was working on paying student loans/credit cards off and not needing to purchase anything needing a credit check so i stopped keeping up with things on my credit report.

 

Recently I have ordered to purchase another car and was curious about the rate I would qualify for with a new auto loan, restarted my myfico service and saw the late payments notated. When I go to the report provided by myfico and scroll down to both Chase Bank cards, the 2 year payment history all shows green. As far as the score history- I recently paid off 2 credit cards worth of debt in the amount of 50k and only saw  a 6 point increase with equifax- I expected way more for all three scores but remain more concern about the faulty reporting

 

Currently sitting at the following:

Equifax- 660

Transunion- 668

Experian- 647

Re: Equifax showing 2 30+ day payment

You'd want to provide the most recent report possible - so yes, I'd recommend still pulling a new report from ACR.  It's easier to simply dismiss a report with even a slightly older date... because 'your credit report changes everyday' blah...

 

ACR will deliver your report electronically, so it's instant/easy to do. 

 

The fact that the payment history is all clear in one section of the app and not the other leads me to believe the data is faulty - but get your ACR report and confirm. 

 

If it is a glitch, I can slmost guarantee you'll not be the only one to experience it and we'll see more posts pop up.

Morning!

 

Sorry I must have missed the email notification that you had replied. 

 

Long story short (believe it or not) I was a FF/Medic, went to medical school, and ended up living off of credit cards for a couple of years. I just finished paying off 50k worth of CC debt but only saw a few point increase. 

 

I think i found my culprit- back at the beginning of covid I had closed two chase accounts that had balances. (long story) From what myfico customer service told me over the weekend- while its flagging as "2 60+ day payments" there is actually a hover button that says 30 days late, 60 days late OR derogatory indicator. 

 

Turns out Chase is reporting both of my accounts as having a "derogatory indicator" b/c they were closed with a balance. 

 

since their % usage was high- I have scheduled a balance transfer to a card that has a 25k limit with no balance and a decreased APR to hopefully fix the issue.
