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

Why did I get three different credit scores?
I recently got my free credit reports from the three credit reporting companies and then I paid to get my credit scores. I got a different score from each company. Equifax gave me a credit score of 569, Experian 572, and Transunion 635. Why is this and how can I find out my real credit score? What can I do to correct this?

TransUnion has another persons information on my credit report
I got my free credit reports from all three credit reporting agencies today. I didn’t find any errors on Experian or Equifax but TransUnion has an additional name on my credit record with them. I don’t understand why they would have all her crap on my report! I have already contacted TransUnion to dispute this and I’m waiting for their response. Although I just discovered this today, this has probably been on my report for some time. I definitely intend to keep following up but I’d like to know if anyone else has ever had this happen to them and what and was the outcome. Also, will TransUnion just remove all of this or is this going to be a long drawn out process?

Is there a credit card company that will only check Transunion credit score?
I would like to get a credit card to help build my credit. My Transunion credit score is much higher than Experian and Equifax so I am looking for a credit card company that only checks Transunion. Does anyone know of such a card or where I can find this information?

I can’t get my Equifax credit report but I had no problem with TransUnion.
I went to annualcreditreport.com and got my credit report from TransUnion without a problem.
I then tried Equifax but the website stated that there is a “security freeze” on my report. I have never used Equifax before and I have never requested a security freeze. Why would there be a problem with one credit report while the other is ok?

How to get a free credit report from the TransUnion web site
I went to annualcreditreport.com and I had no problem getting my credit reports from Equifax and Experian, but when I was transferred to the TransUnion web site, all I see are offers for their paid credit reporting products and the option to order them. I don’t see any way to get the free annual credit report. How can I get the free credit report from this web site?

Does anyone else have trouble getting a Transunion report?
I can get my credit reports but my husband has had trouble getting his free annual report from Transunion (he did get the other two). Then he tried to buy his report from Transunion’s website but they said they couldn’t verify his identity. So then he called and kept answering questions and apparently they have some address where he has never lived! He gave them every address he has ever had and they said none of them matched the one they have. It has been a real pain in our butts. We just want to keep track of our credit score!

Why does Transunion show my Experian score lower than Experian does?
I understand Transunion is tougher and I expect their version of my credit score to be lower.
But what I don’t understand is why on Experian’s site, their report gives me one score, then when I get all 3 credit scores from the Transunion site, they report my Experian score as much lower?

Why is my Experian score lower than the other two?
My Experian credit score is about 30 points lower than the Transunion and Equifax scores and it’s been this way for a few years. The only difference I see from glancing at the accounts is that Equifax shows more inquires in the last 2 years (5) than Transunion and Experian (they have 3 and 2). Would that knock it down by 30 points or does Equifax always score lower?
My credit scores range from 770 to 803 so I am not too worried about being denied credit, I’m just curious.

Why do two of my credit scores go up but not the other?
Thanks to keeping my balances low and making good payments, both my Transunion and Equifax credit scores have been going up (IT CAN BE DONE!). Experian, though, has been moving MUCH slower (if at all). The only difference I see between the Experian and Transunion report is the number of credit checks that have been done, but that number is virtually the same between Experian and Equifax.
Any insight would be much appreciated!

Why is Equifax not reporting my credit history?
I got my first credit card in June of 2006. My payments have never been late. Every 30 days the credit card company reports account status to all 3 major credit reporting agencies. Transunion and Experian both are showing my account correctly, but Equifax is not showing it at all! I had to pay Equifax for my credit report just to try to dispute it and now I get a bunch of crap from their customer service center. I know my credit card company is reporting my info. In fact just yesterday they did another report to Equifax and Equifax is still saying they have no record of the account. I’m really upset over this mess and I want an investigation by FTC and possibly the Attorney General for the state for the Equifax corporate office. What would you do? What is the best way to get immediate action?

How to remove a security freeze from equifax and transunion?
Experian has a website that allows you to print a document which is to be filled out with the requested info, and mailed to a specific address. In doing so, I have managed to have the security freeze removed from Experian. The problem is that Experian has not notified TransUnion, or Equifax about the security freeze being removed from my credit file, so I am still stuck, and of course, there is absolutely no one I can call or speak with to help my situation. Any help is GREATLY appreciated.

I disputed a negative item on my Experian credit report and they deleted it. How can I get it deleted from Equifax & Transunion?
I have heard that if a credit bureau wont delete the account then the dispute becomes active and the account remains on the credit report for next 10 years.
Since experian already deleted it? Is there a way I can get it deleted from other credit reports by sending them the experian corrected report?
Thanks in advance.
