timbercreektech Posted March 13, 2003 Report Share Posted March 13, 2003 I use Privicyguard to get my reports. It helps me compare across CRA's. There is something funny about the way Experian shows their information. Here is a line from the report:-------------------EQ------------EX--------------TUAccount Number:_EAA171XXXX_____EAA171XXXX_____EAA171XXXX Acct Type:______Installment____Auto Loan______Installment Acct Status:____Closed_________Closed__________Closed Monthly Payment:_$260__________$0_____________$260 Date Open:_______Feb,_1994____Feb,_1994_______Feb,_1994 Balance:________$0____________$0______________$0 Terms:__________N/A___________60 Months_______60 Months High Balance:_$15,628_________N/A_____________$15,628 Limit:_________N/A____________N/A_____________N/A Past Due:______$0_____________$0______________$0 Remarks: PAID ACCOUNT_____ZERO BALANCE________AUTOThis is for an old auto loan with Ford Credit. Shows what I bought it for. How long the terms were, monthly payments. But if you look at the Experian record, is doesn't show squat. How can they use this information to calulate scores. This type of thing is common on my Experian report. There is even a 10 year history of a mortgage that shows a bunch of $0. Can I get them to input fugures into them to up my score?

kb9tbq Posted March 13, 2003 Report Share Posted March 13, 2003 It is something wrong with the tape format used by Ford to report to Experian. Contact Ford - to see if they would help with updating Experian correctly on this matter. Point out to them that Experian is not getting all the data the other 2 CRAs are getting (possibly show them tradelines from all 3 to make your point).This way if you make them aware of it, they may update their processors sending in the data - to get it corrected for all other accounts reported.
