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.

Fan Shout

dfosterf (1m) : I'm going with a combination of the two.

beast (1h) : Either the Cowboys have no idea what they're doing, or they're targeting their former OC, currently the Eagles OC

Zero2Cool (18h) : Fake news. Cowboys say no

Zero2Cool (19h) : Mystery candidate in the Cowboys head coaching search believed to be Packers ST Coordinator Rich Bisaccia.

beast (23-Jan) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?

beast (23-Jan) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Martha- C'est mon boulot! 😁

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you

wpr (22-Jan) : Z, glad you are feeling better.

wpr (22-Jan) : My son and D-I-L work for UM. It's a way to pick on them.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you. I rarely get sick, and even more rarely sick to the point I can't work.

wpr (22-Jan) : Beast- back to yesterday, I CAN say OSU your have been Michigan IF the odds of making the playoffs were more urgent.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : I've been near death ill last several days, finally feel less dead and site issues.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : It is a big deal. This host is having issues. It's frustrating.

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : just kidding...it was down

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : you were blocked yesterday, due to a a recalcitrant demeanor yesterday in the penalty box for a recalcitrant demeanor

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Was that site shutdown on your end or mine? No big deal, just curious

beast (21-Jan) : That way teams like Indiana and SMU don't make the conference championships by simply avoiding all the other good teams in their own confere

beast (21-Jan) : Also, with these "Super Conferences" instead of a single conference champion, have 4 teams make a Conference playoffs.

beast (21-Jan) : Also in college football, is a bye week a good or bad thing?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : The tournament format was fine. Seeding could use some work.

beast (21-Jan) : You can't assume Ohio State would of won the Michigan game...

beast (21-Jan) : Rankings were 1) Oregon 2) Georgia 3) Texas 4) Penn State 5) Notre Dame 6) Ohio State, none of the rest mattered

wpr (21-Jan) : Texas, ND and OSU would have been fighting for the final 2 slots.

wpr (21-Jan) : Oregon and Georgia were locks. Without the luxury of extra playoff berths, Ohios St would have been more focused on Michigan game.

wpr (21-Jan) : Zero, no. If there were only 4 teams Ohio State would have been one of them. Boise St and ASU would not have been selected.

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : So that was 7 vs 8, that means in BCS they never would made it?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : A great game. Give ND credit for coming back, although I am please with the outcome.

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : FG to make it academic

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : and there's the dagger

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : ooooo 8 point game with 4 minutes to go!

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : ooooooooohhhhhh he missed!

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Ooooo that completion makes things VERY interesting

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Game not over yet

beast (21-Jan) : Oh yeah, Georgia starting quarterback season ending elbow injury

beast (21-Jan) : Sadly something happened to Georgia... they should be playing in this game against Ohio State

beast (21-Jan) : I thought Ohio State and Texas were both better than Notre Dame & Penn State

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame getting rolled

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : Ohio State just got punched in the gut. Lets see how they respond

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame vs the Luckeyes, bleh

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Oh snap!!!

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : Even Stevie Wonder can see that.

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : Nah, you see Lions OC leaving to be HC of Bears is directly related to Packers.

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : ohhhhhhh Zero is in TROUBLE
