abalazs said:Does anyone who has CreditSecure have a way of getting around the 30 day review period? I called them to ask if I could just start paying now and pull my new report right away and they shot me down. I seem to recall other people being able to do that some time ago.



Thanks
That seems like a good idea. I'll call and ask them what happens.
did you cancelCreditSecure and then re-enroll immediately? Were you able to refresh reports every day?

For what it's worth, I PM'd abalazs and was told "Yep, I canceled and was able to re-enroll right away so that I could pull reports daily"

How do you pull all 3? Citi is only showing experian for me...

Thanks!

Edit: Just saw the 3 in 1 image on the left hand side.

I enrolled 9/4 in CreditCheckTotal. When I tried enrolling on 8/4, I could not get this product due to Experian freeze. I have temporarily lifted the freeze and was able to enroll.

I called 866-506-7894 to try and cancel/re-enroll in the Credit Check Total product to gain ability of immediate daily pulls. Unfortunately, it is not possible for the Credit Check Total program - you have to wait the obligatory 7-9 days before you can do daily pulls.

During the same call, I asked if there were any promotions currently available... rep said for 3 months, I could get Credit Check Total for $19.95 rather than $29.95....

ThursdaysChild said:Alimo said:I think I heard WAMU's score isn't the most accurate for some reason. <snip>WAMU's score is a "credit-card enhanced" score, just as what your mortgage broker sees is a "mortgage enhanced" score.

According to WAMU, they pull the information from TU. I signed up for credit karma to find my score much lower than WAMU's "Bankcard Industry Option FICO score". Out of curiosity, I pulled my credit report from TU. My WAMU credit card (which was opened 2+ years ago) wasn't even on my TU report. Now I know why my credit karma score (which should be closer to the actual FICO score) is that much lower given that the only other card I have was opened this year. How odd...

How does the Citi product stack up against the competition? I'm thinking about signing up, as the price seems solid...but am I missing out on much going with them? Overall, it sounds like you are happy with it.

you can get it for $9.95/mo for 6 months if you ask extra-nicely.

Seems they only have experian information. 29.95 for 3 credit bureas.

I was double billed for Credit Secure in February. Found a 23.98 charge on my account. The rep I spoke with says it is a known error, and may have affected others.

Ditto here, two $11.99 were already posted. Judging from my current available CL, Credit Secure apparently also placed two holds of $11.99 (the Am Ex card was not used otherwise). Now, whether posted or not, my available CL is reduced by a total of $47, or approximately 4 x $11.99. Go figure...

For me, this is the second time in a year this has happened. I have found it a hassle to dispute their errors. Compensation?

Just found AT&T Wireless gave me a hard inquiry on 9/30 last year, but I didn't do anything, I have been an At&T customer for over 4 years and never late for the payment. Does anybody know the reason or how to dispute? Would it affect my credit score? Thanks.

I'm not sure but that may be standard protocol in the cell phone industry to do hard inquiry whenever you sign up for a contract

He stated that he has been a customer for over 4 years, and did not indicate that he signed up for a new contract around 09/30/2008.

I've been pulling reports daily with both CreditKarma and ChaseIDProtection.com -- but only CreditKarma is showing up on my TransUnion report. Shouldn't ChaseIDProtection be showing up there too? I'm trying for some TU bumpage, but having a hard time since half the programs I signed up for require me to wait for them to mail me a pin (still waiting...), or else don't allow daily pulls. Advice?! Thanks
