I have disputed the "Key Derogatory" to experian. Should I pull my credit report from the other 2 bureaus also? Should I contact Citi as if why they reported it as "KD" for the past 3 months for my Home Depot card?

My score in Experian.com shows me 758
But here my score is 738.

Dont understand why I see this difference.

Hmm, is this thing even right?

It says I have "excellent credit" with 728... I'm positive I actually have weak credit around 640 because I have a ton over money taken out from 0% cards.

Looks like a Plus score and a FICO score are not the same thing. Maybe that explains the difference.

Time to google FAKO FICO

ok maybe someone here can point me in the right direction.

Situation:
i have two credit card accounts that show up as open which are not reporting anything but nevertheless have a limit. one is from 2003 and one is from 2005. im pretty sure these are accounts which i stopped using either by calling the cc company or by not activating a new card.

Questions:
Is it worth closing them?

How do i know who to call to close them?

I applied mortgage loan yesterday. The scores are around 730. This PLUS score is 728. So it is quite correct considering the fact that I just have one more inquiry.

No, unless they have an annual fee or you are being rejected for cards because you have too much credit, it's better to keep them open as they should lower your utilization and increase your average account age.

Given today's circumstances. I would call them up and ask them to mail you fresh cards, then put a token charge on them to keep them open and active.

1. What is a 30 day review period?
As an American Express® cardmember, we offer you the opportunity to review CreditSecure for 30 days. During this review period, you will receive one 3-Bureau credit report with credit scores. Your credit reports from the three national credit bureaus will be monitored daily for 30 days, and you will have access to all of the tools and resources available online. If you do not cancel your membership within the 30-day review period, your American Express card account will be billed $11.99 per month to continue receiving the valuable benefits of CreditSecure including unlimited access to your credit reports and scores. If you wish to cancel at anytime please call us at 1-866-617-1893.

Yes I'm sure, see my previous post. You appear to be looking at Credit Secure, which is why there is a cost associated with it. Credit Secure is what they would wish for you to purchase at the end of your FREE 30-day trial period of this offer. If you're still hesitant why not call 888-771-4452 and get reassurances?

As Abaliga above noted, make sure you begin on the correct link:
