Credit.com went to Vantage 3.0.  You can try EX site, pay a buck, & cancel it the next day?  There is also a cc that gives EX.  Not sure which one?

For the last 6 weeks, I have been using the 3-in1 monitoring via MyFICO and getting *Alerts* from EQ and TU.  Almost every week Experian tells me my credit report is clear and no changes have occurred.  All 3 CR are frozen but it seems only EX isn't updating anything at all.

  My 3 are frozen and I get Experian alerts pretty heavy.  They should come along anytime.

I thought the same thing. Tu and eq were reporting,but nothing from experian. I have experian credit tracker as well. The credit tracker updated the same time as Tu and Eq, but my fico experian ended up updating a week later. They are slow for some reason.

I don't know that this is MF's fault: I waited more than a week for EX/TU to update their base reports... and then the truly galling thing was that the date of last update, was 5/14.  This was verified by hand through both EX and TU's interfaces as well as third party reports too (everything under a microscope going into a mortgage).

 

Needless to say I'm a little miffed, but that one's not myFICO's fault absolutely.

 

Will say my balances don't move a lot, a few percent either way and as such I don't really get EX alerts.  If I have a 5% swing I always get an EX alert, but if it's less than that, it's silent.  I suspect a lot of people here who are paying early, probably get the same thing.  This isn't a myFICO issue either unfortunately, the monitoring solution is OEM'd from the respective bureaus as I understand it, which is why there's reporting differences between the three.  

 

If you really want to get the score to move, instead of optimizing reports at 1% or whatever, do it at 7% and rotate cards reporting.  Or use a Chase card (that'll do a midcycle update if paid to $0) to trigger a score, then pay it back to $0 to trigger a second one.

 

It's not optimal and may be more trouble than it's worth... I do ok with EQ's granular reporting and then when I get TU/EX reports it's a good thing but not entirely necessary for me.  When I need a EX trigger I can always go play with my Freedom, extra benefit to only having a $1000 dollar line I suppose, easy to create a 5% swing on it without making a large purchase.

Common topic.  Make sure you understand the myFICO triggers as myFICO does not update on a fixed schedule.

You can get your EX FICO 8 scores directly from Experian and IIRC they offer daily updates.
