My name on my credit report

On my name credit profile my name has been spelled a number of ways. For ex. Larry Jones,  Larry J. Jones, Larry Jack Jones

 

On all of my credit & debit cards  my name is displayed as ‘Larry Jones’ (with the exception of one debit card)

Should I keep the various names displayed on my credit profile for simplicity sake?

How might having my name spelled just one way effect my credit score?

 

Thanks guys!

It doesn't affect credit score

You can leave variations, but ask for misspells to be removed. Your name is sourced from many different places. Lenders, public records, government agencies, etc.

I recently called Experian to remove the misspelled names. My name is Katie and there was Kathie, Katy, and Katherine. My name is not any of those.
