Hey, thanks for that. That's interesting to see how the three differ in some ways.

Some of the risk codes are the same for all three credit bureaus. One of the differences that I know is that Experian uses reason code #6 (fianance companies). I have been able to figuare out how the codes pertain to my personal report. Theses codes are only a part of it. You alos have to eb able to break it down further. For example, how long is an acocunt still considered new? What does Experian consider to be a maxed out limit on a revolving account??

Neat thanks!
There's a bunch of anecdotal information on a maxxed tradeline, that's actually fairly easy to test but I haven't bothered to do so (I do know that 99.3% and 99.7% respectively are both considered max heh, seen conflicting reports between 80 and 90%).
New accounts is harder: it's a catch-all reason code anecdotally. A reasonable estimate would either be six months or a year but I've personally never seen anything official on that.
