I got an email today from myfico.com that said my fico score had decrease but when I log into score history it says my score is unchanged. Whats that about?
There were some technical issues with Score Watch alerts in previous weeks that have since been resolved. We've added an additional free Equifax report to your subscription. Our apologies for the confusion.

I've had a similar thing happened. I got a score alert that my score had gone up, but when I logged in there's an alert saying it went down. I'm confused?
Hate to say this, but I think the technical issues are back...
My Score Alert e-mail from yesterday said my FICO score has increased. When I logged into Score Watch, it said "Alert: your FICO score has dropped below your target score of 758." Below that, it says "Your FICO score has gone up to 797 on March 4th." I don't think I could have possibly gotten 40 points in one month. 
I'm afraid you might be right.

Seems like I'm seeing more of these lately. I'll see what I can find out.In the mean time, a free report has been added to your subscription so you can reset your target score to your current one.
I appreciate it, Barry, but you don't have to give me a free report. I wasn't planning to pull one until May or June and you already gave me a discount code (thanks, BTW), plus I still have a freebie to use. Glitches happen. Just wanted to let you know. 
And I thought it only happened to me!!! LOL! My score went up (YAY) but I have been scared to celebrate too hard because the very next day, I received an email alert saying that a balance increased and my score went down. When I logged into scorewatch I could not find the alert or decreased score or anything!?? It was very confusing!! Not trying to get any freebies, my trial is over anyway - which by the way I hope I cancelled the correct way via email as I dont want to get in debt trying to pay off a monitoring service - which is helping to do the complete opposite!! 
Starting Score: 532EQ; 659TU
Well, curiosity got the better of me and I pulled my reports. I guess mine might not have been a false alert after all. My EQ FICO says 797 and my transunion says 793. I pulled it from transunioncs.com, in case there was a glitch here. Seems almost impossible that I could get that many points in one month, but it doesn't appear to be a Score Watch mistake (other than the typo in the notice saying my score had gone down. It did have the proper score below that). So, Barry, please take back the free report from my account and sorry for the trouble.
I'm a little afraid to celebrate yet. If my score goes up again this month after I pay another CC down to 7%, then I'll get excited.
