I'm simply curious about my own report, but my SO is going in on this mortgage thing alone (my scores are too low right now). Question time: with the quarterly family package: do you get updates when your balances go down, or collections are deleted, or inquiries fall off? Does it update you in real time when your scores go up/down? Or with it being "quarterly", do you only get these notifications once every 3 months...?
I have the family plan with my wife and my two children. I get realtime notfications about each of the updates you listed. The only thing that you are restricted to quarterly is the full, updated report. For instance, if a collection drops off and your score changes you will get an alert that the collection dropped off, an alert that your score changed, and you'll see the change in your score but you won't see the update on your actual credit report unless you pay for an updated one or wait until your next one is available.
