Why does Equifax calculate their scores different than the other two credit bureaus?

October 15, 2011 · Posted in Equifax Credit Report, Experian Credit Report, TransUnion Credit Report · 4 Comments 

Is there anything you can do about your Equifax score? Shouldn’t it be at least close to the same as Experian and TransUnion? And why do most banks use them to check your credit for auto loans? They are so aggravating. They don’t even show a lot of my credit information, like saying I have no open bank cards when I do. Is there anything I can do to correct this? I need to buy a car, but I keep getting turned down for a loan because of my Equifax score.

    What types of credit accounts are needed to get a high credit score?

    August 17, 2010 · Posted in Credit Repair · 11 Comments 

    I would like to improve my credit score (it’s about 615) in order to qualify for a mortgage with a low interest rate in about a year or so. I currently have an auto loan and three revolving credit accounts (all bank credit cards). Two of the credit cards are new and the other one is almost a year old. My auto loan will be a year old in a few months. Would my score go up if I apply for more credit? If so what type of credit? What is a good mixture of credit to have to get a higher credit score?
