View Full Version : credit scores


sam
I need help understanding all the information I have digested on this site regarding credit scores received from the big 3. Actually for me it is only the big 2. I ordered my reports from all 3 about 18 months after ch7. Scores were as follows: equifax - no score as i didn't pay for it as I was turned down for credit. Transunion 569 and experian 611. I disputed all negative info last month. Got new Transunion report with some deletions, although still have a foreclosure reported on my first mortgage (which was paid when I refinanced), Foreclosure actually was from second lender who then sold the loan to another lender who actually foreclosed) They didn't report on the bureaus, so I disputed the foreclosure on the first mortgage (obtained in 1985 and paid in 1991) I think the dope at the CRA put the info on the wrong creditor (but how did they then verify this??). Anyhow, aside from all that, I got my transunion report today with everything else correct and my score was 671. To my dismay, now I see that this score means nothing? I tried to get my equifax score but they couldn't give it to me (said I would get a full refund). Question is, what should I do about mortgage reporting foreclosure since they are not the company that foreclosed and... is the score received by transunion worthless? please advise. Thanks

Yeah, the TU score is worthless, unless you order their Fair Isaac score.

"(obtained in 1985 and paid in 1991)" Any derog that happened in 91 shouldn't be on your credit at all.

Dispute the foreclosure again and request the verification procedures. Make sure you don't make it a spam dispute.
