I've been trying to check my ficos all day because TLs have been removed, but I keep getting the error page listed below. I called the customer support number and they said it's probably because I moved in the last 6 months and when I first registered here I was still living at my old address. They said if I update my current address with TU and EQ that it would probably fix the problem and gave me their numbers which of course is a big pain of mailing documents and waiting periods. This process sounds like a total load of poop because the current address on all my reports is ancient yet it allowed me to check them the first time I registered here. Has anyone else had this problem and know what to do? I was excited to check my score and now I'm really sad.

Have you met the above on your TU report?
Ok, so I just called again to complain and she asked about my last 6 months of credit activity. All I have on my CR that is not super old is 7 defaulted school loans so all I had on my reports last time I was able to get my score in Sept. '09 was a total of 15 negative TLs (7 were from the original lender, 7 from the guarantor, and one random one for a returned check in 2003). I completed rehab on 2/15/09 which is supposed to remove the 7 TLs from the guarantor and I'll remain with 8 baddies until they fall off. The loans got picked up from Suntrust, but I haven't started paying them back yet so their active tradelines aren't on my CR yet.
The last date of activity from the guarantor who I've been paying for the last 9 months for rehab was 4/09 which is almost a year ago. The reason I was able to check my scores back in Sept was because it was still within 6 month time period of activity. She said I need to wait until I start making payments again on my SLs so that I get the new tradelines added and then I'll have current activity which allows a FICO to be calculated. She told me that since FICO is also a measure of how you pay your bills, so its necesseary to have current accounts and use them so they keep being updated. I know this was winded, but does my understanding sound about right? Thanks
