I understand your frustration, but ignoring the score won't change a thing. The value of the reports and score is it allows you to address the issues that are dropping your scores rather than blame just the messenger.

Re: trans union

I'm on the phone with Fico. I'm not ignoring my reports. Nothing has changed in the past three months so my issue is over a 50 point drop with transunion. Again all bills are paid on time every month and revolving balances are under 5% utilization. Not blaming anyone person I have issue with thier calculations.

Re: trans union

This is like blaming the speedometer in your car for a speeding ticket. It's just the measuring stick, not the cause in and of itself. As mentioned, your best plan is to see what changed and why it dropped and address those issues. Something most likely changed in your report causing the drop in score. It's not a random system by design.

Re: trans union

If there was a large drop, then something you are missing has in fact changed.

TU does not generate scores other than their TU New Account Score.  FICO's are a product of the Fair Isaac Corporation.  A TU FICO does use TU data to generate the score.

 

If you're unhappy with your score based on TU data then it's your report data that is the issue and you need to indentify and address the issues with your TU report.  Stop blaming TU or the score.  It's how you're managing your credit accounts that determines how data is reported.

 

Don't just obsess over the numbers.  To determine the cause(s) of any scoring change you have to carefully review reports from before and after the scoring change.

Scores don't just randomly change.  Any score is generated based on data in a report.  Again, you need to pull the report to verify what changed.  Paying on time does help as Payment History is the biggest factor.  Low Revolving Utilization does help since it falls under Amounts Owed.

However, these are not the only factors that matter and you're obviously overlooking a change or multiple changes that led to the drop in score.  You cannot find out what these are without the report and an idea of what the report was like before the drop.

 

You are assigning blame.  You're assuming that there has to be mistake when you have not yet confirmed what is going on with your TU report by pulling it.

Re: trans union

Do you have an old derogatory entry that went away at one point? If so, TU may be dishing up a cached report that shows that old derog.
