I pulled my 3B report from Credit Tracker this morning. It shows up in my installment loans section with my truck loan and student loans. Account Type: Unsecured loan
So far, it only shows on TU.
Hope this helps!
Credit Tracker I thought was:
1) Just for FICO 8
2) Didn't give reason codes
Am I mistaken in that? My own CFA reports as an installment loan and looks identical to other installment loans; the details simply aren't in the tradeline as near as I can tell. Also we'd have to look at FICO 3 when we're talking Experian possibly, I have yet to see a confirmation of a CFA on a FICO 8 reason code, I'm not even certain how some people have stated they have CFA's as if you don't see it in the reason code how can you know?
Unfortunately, I pulled my 3B FICO report just before this loan hit. I won't be able to check FICO 3 for another couple of months. Just to clarify, when you say "reason codes", is that the same as "factors helping or hurting your score"? If so, the Credit Tracker app will show the factors, but two days in a row now it's not showing any for me. Appears to be a glitch when I pulled my reports.

Well reason codes are never helping heh.
Some services for the ones that "hurting" will just list the reason codes, but some do something else entirely different which rather sucks.
Even if your 3B report is a few months away I'd *love* to see the reason codes for more than just FICO 8 too... I know CFA's exist in FICO 04, so EQ FICO 5, TU FICO 4, and EX FICO 3 if it's not there, I suspect that's close to confirmation enough that Marcus isn't a CFA: I had the CFA tag on EQ FICO 5 for years, and my file was always badly dirty so it's significant enough to make the reason codes even with an ugly file.
Hi Rev! As soon as I get the full 28 score report, I'll update.

That's odd. I just added a 15k loan paid down to 13,800 and got a 37-point ding on TU.
I just got the alert from myFICO about the loan reporting. However, it coincided with Chase updating a payoff from 58% to 0, so I got a 14 point increase on TU. For me, TU is my least looked at report, so I'm glad the loan is only showing there.

AFAIK I never lost points for adding an installment loan (other than inquiry / new account on clean scorecards) if I didn't materially shift my installment utilization. That said I'm not certain if there was a window sans installment loan because I always tried to open installment loans when before the last fell off, something to look at.
Heh, also before anyone gets the wrong idea on those reason codes: Chase Credit Journey so it's Vantage.

Those are VS specific, not FICO; like FICO 8 I don't know if VS cares about CFA's at all; interesting that Credit Journey provides VS reason codes though as I've only gotten those through Alliant previously, that's a nice touch and maybe I'll come off my you ain't getting my TU report for free Chase... nah probably not
