Re: Experian insufficient amount of accounts BS!!!

I've seen that reason code on some of my EX scores (tho not the basic 8 or 2, where CCT won't show them to me).  Since I've never had a late payment, I assume it doesn't just refer to recent delinquency, despite the wording.  After a recent discussion with @Anonymous and others, I wonder if it is excluding accounts that have been inactive for a certain period of time from "currently paid as agreed", since those accounts don't have recent payment activity for the algo to score.

Yeah, so I do show 7 open accounts ( 4 revo, 1 install, 1 charge, 1 rent boost) in the 3B report paying on the Ex side, 17 in all. All in good standing.

OP, impossible to say if it's BS without knowing what your CR looks like.

 

Slab I have not heard of someone having that negative reason statement present without having late payments on their CR, so that's interesting that you've seen it on a clean file.

I went and looked at old CCT pulls to double check, and here it is on an AU8 from Sept.  BC8 from that date had it as well.  I would love to know whether classic 8 did too, but, alas, they are suppressed.

My main complaint was that they say High Achievers average 6, but my number they say I have is 6. Where's MY love?

 

I feel you, though. It seems misleading. "Paid as agreed" as if there are some that are not paid as agreed. I think they're mashing two demands into one sentence. Not only must you have a good amount of accounts, but you better make sure those accounts are paid as agreed.

This exactly where I saw 'Few Accounts Paid on Time' during my first 1yr 2mos of revolving credit history with only 2 cards on my file.

 

Always EX Auto 8 and EX Bankcard 8. I was seeing it on EX 8 right up until AoYA/AoYRA 3 months, and then I never saw it again.

 

One time at AoYA 11mo (still 2 cards) it popped up on EQ 5, but I've never seen it since.

 

After adding 2 cards to make a total of 4 open on file, it disappeared from EX Auto 8 and EX Bankcard 8 and I haven't seen it since across all 28 FICO scores on my monthly 3B reports.

 

I've always had 50% or more of cards reporting a balance (always at/or below 9%): 1-of-2, 2-of-2, 2-of-4, 3-of-4, or 4-of-4.

Maybe there is something to that 'payment inactivity' theory.

Slab, how many total accounts did you have at the time?  If anything like Cassie, I'm imagining just a few?
