I've been getting back results of investigations and other correspondence from the CRAs and have noticed that the file number (TU) and report number (EXP) have changed since I first started disputing. All the other info (name, address) matches up. Is this okay?
My TU file number is the same even looking back to a report dated 1996. My experian does change, because it is a report number only. TU should always be the same. That's weird.
I'm going to go ahead and give TU a call just to make sure everything's okay. The last thing I need is TWO crappy credit files
My Experian and Equifax numbers always change. TU stays the same except for a dash number... xxxxxxx-17 is the original report (round 2) -18 is the letter saying they got my dispute -19 is the letter asking if I used a credit repair company -20 is some kind of disclosure saying credit repair companies may be acting illegaly -21 is a "corrected" report (2 of 5 responses) -22 is the final version after all the others responded
The number on my TU report changed from 104XXXXXXXX to 107XXXXXXXX, which to me seems like a pretty big difference.
