How to make Credit Bureau to share positive info

[cool2day]

I am trying to do everything I can to improve my credit rating.

Because most of my credit history consist of revolving accounts. (16: of which only 4 are active.) I assume that every installment account that I have in good standing should help my credit score.

However, I noticed that one installment account (Bally Total Fitness over 36 months) shows up only in the Experian report. How do I make sure that this positive information shows up also in the reports by Equifax and Transunion? Aren't they supposed to share information? Can I somehow make Experian to share this with the others?

In additon, does anyone venture to guess what the impact of this item would be for my credit score?

I am looking forward to your feedback and/or insights.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe accounts are only reported to the bureau that the creditor subscribes to. So if Bally only pays for Experian, then it wouldn't show up on the other two. And I don't think there's any way to force it to report on all three.

thats exactly correct scrapwench. They do not share information and only report information provided to them by their subscribers.

but to the original poster-if your thinking about getting a mortgage down the road-your mortgage broker will pull all 3 reports and will use a blended score to determine your 'mortgage score' so the fact that it is showing on one will still help overall.
