New account on report has -tape written after it.

Hi all!  I received a sw alert letting me know about 2 new accts. on my cr.  They both have "-tape" written after them.  What does this mean?  Thanks!

So would it say something like "HSBC-tape" or "Discover-tape"?

Yes

Sorry to get back with you so late. I asked around and learned there is some sort of reporting snafu between Equifax and myFICO per the SW alerts. There's some sort of glitch that is adding that suffix to the account name in your SW alerts and the issue is being worked on right now. This of course has no bearing on what your EQ report says and has no impact on your score. If I learn anything else, I'll post back.

from what we can tell, it doesn't have any affect on her score, but my gf does have 2 accounts that report this way on her reports.
