Score "watch"?

[Anonymous]

   Having ALOT of fun watching my "useless" FAKO scores skyrocket over the past two months. Oddly the only service I PAY to watch my score (MyFICO) hasnt noticed any of this. Cant help but wonder if it's because they figured out that twice now I've paid to get "todays score" only to realize that, duh, if not alerted it will be the same. Hope they enjoy the money!

Hi kmero,

Not sure why you would expect Score Watch to alert you to your FAKOs increasing unless you're figuring that if they're going up so should your FICO.  Maybe, but not a sure thing by any means.

I do see that you received a SW alert notifying you of a score increase a couple of days ago.  I also see that you have been setting your target score substantially higher than your current score, which is probably why you haven't received more score alerts.  Hopefully now that you have it set to something closer to your last score you should see more such alerts if your score continues to increase.  FYI, it's recommended that you set your target score to the last one you received.
