Credit Report BS! · PACKERSHOME

So, I paid $15 for my three credit reports in good detail with my score. 563 is a bad score, but expected.

I've long been trying to remove items on my report that are not my responsibility. Good news is, it's down to one item, FINALLY.

$974.00 for Bayfield Financial LLC, who?? What?

I called them up and they have two cases for 'Kevin Dugan', I said great that's not me, fix it. They took my last four of my social and say 'we cant discuss this further as its not related to you'.

She was helpful and polite, not rude. She advised me to call Transunion (the only bureau that has it listed on mine) and tell them to investigate it and fix it.

The thing that gets me, my report claims I'm 48k in debt! That's a crock. I only owe just around 30k for my student loans and that's all I have on my report.

ARGHHH!!!

How can Experian, Equifax and TransUnion give different score's for your credit?

Experian and Equifax are almost identical, but TransUnion is way different. I wonder if they check the status more often or less?

It is my understanding that they weigh the info differently. Open accounts, revolving credit accounts, home loans, available credit and so on.

If they did it all the same there is no need for three of them. Their scoring systems are proprietary so lenders tend to use all three.

I went to free credit score . com and got the info but not my score. I saw that Transunion had stuff that the others didn't have.

My daughter got a parking ticket about 5 years ago and didn't pay it so it went to collection. I called her when the collection notice came to me and I scolded her. (The car is in my name.) That shows up on Transunion but not on the others. It ticked me off again when I saw it. 😳 I am sure that is why I don't have an 800. :facepalm:

request the credit report companies to verfy your items. that will probably get rid of anything wrong.

The only score that matters is FICO. You can obtain that score for free from myFICO.com. Just sign up for their 30 day free trial and cancel before the 30 days. Also, you can get a free detailed credit report from each of the 3 bureaus once per year from annualcreditreport.com (federal law).

Also, I just found out recently that if you file a fraud alert with the credit bureaus (I lost my wallet and I wanted to protect myself in case someone else found it before I did) that they will provide you with a detailed credit report.

That's what I did with TransUnion, I explained this is a battle I've been attacking since '04 and I was done picking this and that one and I wanted them all re-checked. There's 22 items listed on mine. I only know for sure that one of them is not mine, but if they drop a few others, I won't complain.

beast (23h) : Guys that have a good shot at making the NFL Hall of Fame usually get into their teams pretty fast

beast (23h) : Yeah, but is Kampman and the others in the NFL Hall of Fame?

Zero2Cool (23h) : Johnson was Hall of Fame, 2020. Should haev been in Ring a year later, not three years.

Zero2Cool (23h) : I could be wrong there though

Zero2Cool (23h) : Guys like Kampman, Tim Harris, Al Harris, etc all over 15 years. Hall of Fame is 5 year wait

Zero2Cool (23h) : I guess I see players in Packers Hall come way later

beast (23h) : Yeah, usually teams hall of fames are a much lower bar than the NFL

Zero2Cool (23h) : is it uncommon for Hall before Ring?

Zero2Cool (23h) : S Xavier McKinney named first-team All-Pro by NFLPA

Zero2Cool (8-Jan) : Jones took his sweet ole time!

Zero2Cool (8-Jan) : Yeah, he's in the ring of honor, just saw video and his name is up there

Zero2Cool (8-Jan) : Didn't they have a thing in 2023 for Jimmy's ring of honor? I swear I saw it

beast (8-Jan) : Though if they're legitimately trying to re-sign MM, then it makes sense.

beast (8-Jan) : Jerry Jones still hasn't put Jimmy Johnson in the Ring of Honor, but he's in the NFL's Hall of Fame, Jones is petty

Mucky Tundra (8-Jan) : Unless the Cowboys are planning an extension, seems kinda petty

beast (8-Jan) : Cowboys denied Bears request

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : From what I'm reading, MM is under contract through the 14th of January; after that he's free game

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : McCarthy let go or not extended??

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Chicago Bears have asked the Dallas Cowboys permission to interview Mike McCarthy for head coaching vacancy

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : The winners page that is

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : I was not hoping for that. It messes up the page lol

beast (6-Jan) : Thank you, and I was really opening we were going to get 4 or more tied for the top 3.

beast (6-Jan) : Thank you, and I was really opening we were going to get 4 or more tied for the top 3

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : congrats beast on 2024 !

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : That might be it for the Vikings

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Oh so the refs do know what intentional grounding is

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : what the hell was that Goff?! Not much pressure and he just air mails it to Harrison

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : They really need to to get rid of the auto first down for illegal contact

Martha Careful (6-Jan) : watching the Vikings and Lions it's understandable why they swept the Packers. So much better product

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Even when GB got pressure he was throwing darts; vs no pressure on that last pass he just air mails an open guy

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : didn't have guys in his face ... pressure makes difference

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Where was this Darnold vs GB?

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : BALL DON'T LIE

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : how was that not a safety? Goff throws it at an offensive lineman

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Zero, I thought that was a given! ;)

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Zero I looked through earlier and noticed the same thing. Bonkers year. I just wonder if beast put any money on games

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : I'm hoping for BLOODBATH. Pummel one another.
