Score Watch Credit Report and Score issue

I subscribed to SW on 12/30/13 (monthly subscription).   It tells me that my CR is viewable til 02/10/2015.  

 

 

1.  When will my 2nd CR be available to pull? 

 

2.  Why am I not being offered a 30% discount on my EQ CR?   I am subscribed to TU Quarterly, and underneath my score, it shows me how old my last report was and that I can pull a TU report at 20% discount.

 

3.  I haven't seen this addressed or maybe I have and forgot about it.....multiple people have said their EQ Score was different from their SW Score when they bought a report.   What's the deal there?

 

4.  Mods, please move this thread to the product section when sufficient answers have been given.      ...............................lol.

Sure does help to snoop around on my account page.  Should have dug deeper before asking.

In regards to number three, the Score watch score simply isn't real time (based on what I've seen). When you refresh your EQ FICO (paying for it) you are getting a real time look at what your FICO is right now. However, in my experience Score Watch FICO updates aren't sent out in real time, they lag by a few days (at least). For example, since my last SW update I had a collection come off my account (within the last day or two). However I haven't received a SW alert with updated FICO yet. So, if I pulled my FICO right now it would be higher than the last alert I received.

I've noticed something similar; not every change will trigger a scorewatch update; specifically in my case, I noticed that inquiries falling out of scoreable range didn't trigger it, much like your collection getting nuked.  I didn't see it until I had a balance update on one of my cards.  May see something similar whenever I get around to airstriking the silly IRS tax lien which is paid, I really suck at paperwork right now Cat Tongue

Re: Score Watch Credit Report and Score issue

Thanks for the responses.

 

 

I had a collection due to fall off in March on my EQ....it was removed early on Saturday...on Sunday, I gotta SW alert with a 7 point increase....there were no balance changes, no nothing.  

 

 

Your FICO® score went up on a day when there were no credit alerts on your Equifax Credit Report™. This can happen if:            

  • The balances on one or more of your credit accounts decreased. In general, less debt is better for your score.
  • The credit limit on one or more of your credit accounts increased. Larger credit limits tend to help your FICO® scores if your balances remain the same.
  • Negative information on your credit report, such as a bankruptcy, collection, or record of a late payment, was removed because it was more than 7 years old (or 10 years old in the case of a bankruptcy

Re: Score Watch Credit Report and Score issue

Exactly what the others have stated. I have in the last few weeks have 2 paid off judgement, 1 paid off collections, 1 paid off tax lien and no updates yet with ScoreWatch. Smiley Happy 

I am waiting though! Luckily though next week my next TU Qtr pull will be available. Smiley Happy
