I would urge you to call them, calmly explain the situation, provide the details and ask to speak with a supervisor. I believe the key is to get a commitment they will contact Equifax directly to work the problem. If the supervisor won't commit to that ask them to escalate your ticket to a manager. Be factual and unemotional. Good luck.

Re: Equifax hasn't updated in months

Looks like the same thing is happening to me, along with not much coming from Experian at all.  https://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/myFICO-Product-Feedback/FICO-Score-8-on-dashboard-not-updating-Anyo... Definitely not worth the money if this is how it works now.

Re: Equifax hasn't updated in months

My EQ was acting strange as well. This score is usually my high score but it was lagging behind EX/TU for almost two months. Then on 4/7, it increased by 54 points for reasons unknown to me. I can only guess. We shouldn't have to make educated guesses!!!!

This evening I received a score alert from Equifax and the newly updated score in the exact range I believed it should be. I suspect this has to do with the escalation to Equifax by myFICO. I will consider the problem resolved after I speak with myFICO and see additional acore updates. I am hopeful.

Re: Equifax hasn't updated in months

Hi BMW_328i,

 

I can make some guesses as to the large jump based on your scores.

  1. Major collection(s) fell off report
  2. Late payments(s) fell off report
  3. You payed off a loan

Those first two scenarios can really ding you bad when you are in the lower scores.  I can see as you are aging your report your scores are going up.  Nice work!!!

Re: Equifax hasn't updated in months

So today for the first time in YEARS my EQ score updated in conjunction with changes to my credit report!  I nearly fell off my chair!

 

Maybe they're fixing it?  Or maybe this I was time for the broken clock to actually show the correct time!

Re: Equifax hasn't updated in months

No update from Equifax for months. We're paying for monitoring of all three bureaus and only getting monitoring of two. Has MyFICO formally addressed this issue?


Starting Score (October 7, 2010): EQ: 698 TU: 709
Interim Score: EQ (October 21, 2010): 714 TU (November 2, 2010): 732
More Recent Interim Score: (March 14, 2018- all FICO8): TU: 831: EQ: 824: EX: 827
Goal Score: 850 all

Nobody here will be able to answer account-specific questions.  You really should give myFICO Customer Service a call.

 

They can be reached at 1-800-319-4433 (Mon - Fri 6am to 6pm Pacific Time, Sat 7am to 4pm Pacific Time).

I am having the same issue. When I contacted them they stated the updates weren't being reported from the credit card companies but I got proof they have been. My score hasn't changed in months even after paying large accounts down.

I get this on the main myEquifax front page, but when I click into Your Credit -- Credit Score, it's been updating correctly. 

Navy and Andrews have both been able to pull a EQ Fico score for me, so I think this the extent of the troubles I'm having with them.
