The Master Equifax & TransUnion B* Bumpage Thread

[ugghh]

Good grief. I can not sign up for EQ Complete as they can not reactivate my account since I have sooooooo many pulls already. They said they have escalated this to their technical support group and it will take at least 7 days. Grrrrrrr....

 

I need a 3rd puller

I'm having the same issue … since last year actually. It stopped working and I called few times while it never got fixed. I cancelled the service completely. Now, a year later, trying to reactivate and it's the same problem all over again, well slightly improved rather, but useless none the less - now, if I pull a fresh report, I get the error message, then it takes 5 days for them to send a confirmation email that my report is ready… which makes it impossible to use it daily

 

And I can't add another puller because I'm yet to get American Express… sux

Hang in there

Please confirm that you can actually pull a new report every day.

 

When I see the weasel words "Unlimited Access", sirens go off:

yeah that typically means you have unlimited times to SEE the same stale report generated x days ago

Been following this thread for a while and finally planning to give B* a shot. So I already have TC with daily TU and am considering MPM, CCT, and CS. Also, searched the thread, but can't figure out how to get my list of soft pulls. Any details would be hlepful. Thanks!

[snappydoodles]

Question to the hardcore BI and Grasshoppers. How often do you B*? Is it a continual process just to keep your report clean? Or do you do it annually? bi-annual? quarterly? Or just obsessed and do it all year long?

 

I don't want to set off any alarms with the CRA's so I am wondering when is a good time to cut B* cord.

If you have a lot of apps to make, consolidate them into mini sprees then B* all the inqs together. It's best to do this on a 7 month or 13 month schedule to let the new accounts mature. If you make your applications less often than that you probably don't need to worry about B*.

I wish I could qualify for an AMEX so I could get that 4th puller! They pulled all 3 in May and denied me

I'm a doofus...I applied for the Blue Cash Preferred and was denied. Just went back and applied for Zync and was approved. Cheers!

Very cool thanks, will check that out.

None of my 3 July 1st pulls stuck to EQ.. Anyone else have this problem today?

Leap second issue. Other people have reported lost pulls. You should be fine tomorrow.

[junkyour925]

yesterday was a write-off across the board for me too but no worries I can do three pulls with CCT to make up for it and it really doesn't affect me making it in time for July 15th so no big whoop either way but lesson learned...

 

do not pull in the mornings over the weekend per Dr BW...thanks Bob

You were right, they all showed up today! I thought id lost 3 pulls. phew.

[syncracirca]

I'm up to 72 softs now and have 13 hard. That 4th puller really helps! Should be seeing at least 2 inquiries B*'ed off tomorrow

Total possible softs found: 72

[syncracirca]

I dropped from 13 to 12 inquiries today. 2 unconfirmed softs.

 

Here are my unconfirmed softs:

INTERSECTIONS: 07/02/12 (1) CSC: 06/12/12 (1) Total unconfirmed softs found: 2

 

This is why I don't think these unconfirmed softs counted....

13(hards) + 76(softs) = 89

 

So I would have seen 4 inquiries fall off today if the unconfirmed softs counted, right?

 

However, not counting the softs I have 87. That should mean 2 fell off, but as of my last pull today with EQ I'm seeing 12 now. I have 74 confirmed softs. Tomorrow every pull should knock off an inquiry!!

 

Can anyone please tell me which of these CANNOT be B*'ed off?

What are the dates of your hards? Remember you've got to B* off any good softs that are older than your hards first. Looks like you still have some softs from 2011.

[cputrwz]

I know REALPAGE, INC. cannot be bumped. That is a sticky... mine will fall off naturally this September though.

OK I hadn't done enough reading to know that. My mistake and thanks for the information!

 

@cputrwz: Thanks!

 

Edit: just counted up my softs older than my hards. I have potentially 16 softs that need to be knocked off first. That's 4 more days! Ouch!

[CoderBlix]

I should have B* on EQ this week... Question is if I know that I want to app for something should I go ahead and do it prior to reaching B* (i.e. now) or wait until the hards have fallen off? If I app now and add another hard will it just be pushed off with the others or will it "reset" or disrupt the work I have already put in for B*???
