    Wonder what that means? Would it mean all previous AE tradelines will be deleted off Equifax?
    IF true I would imagine it all comes down to money. It costs the card companies money to report. Interesting.

    BENEFIT~~~HIDDEN CREDIT LINE...

    So if you have 9.99% BT everything you have >9.99% to it...

    DOWN SIDE...they would have to ***REMOVE*** it or it would NEVER up-date...

    ...SAY YOU HAVE IT "FULL" TODAY...THEY DO FINAL UP-DATE (TODAY)...AND YOU PAY IT OFF EVERY MONTH FROM NOW ON...IT WILL BE HELD AGAINST YOU FOR YEARS!!!

    I disputed mine on EXPERIAN...wanted N/A changed to $15,500~~~THEY REMOVED IT!!!

    SO MY AMEX BLUE WILL ONLY BE ON TRANS UNION...

    It's not reporting on my Equifax either. BTW, what is a DTC inquiry? There's a DTC inquiry from AMEX a couple days ago on my EQ report. Any ideas?

    yeah, it's not showing up as a hard inquiry, I was just wondering what DTC stands for.

    George, are you saying they are only reporting to TU? Just trying to figure this out. I would love to hide my Big Blue!

    Was removed from EXPERIAN (never returned)...if EQUIFAX quits reporting...it will ONLY show
    up on TRANS UNION.

    This is a VERY IMPORTANT THREAD!!!

    We need to find out what the real situation is with
    American Express reporting to the CRA's

    I had two negative AMEX accounts mysteriously
    drop off Exp and TU last month!

    I was totally stunned!!!

    I had not yet disputed these accounts because I kept hearing again and again these are about impossible to get removed.

    I keep expecting to see these two accounts reappear as quick as they disappeared.

    But I have read many posts from people who have had AMEX accts disappear recently.

    Some people have said AMEX is updating their software and these accounts will be re-reported to the CRAs at some point in the near future.

    I don't know who or what to believe.

    The ACCOUNT numbers were re-done (on the credit reports) so they are NOT anything like your "REAL" account numbers...

    Some people had their accounts disappear and then reappear with the NEW weird #'s

    I forgot to mention that a couple of months after
    AMEX dropped off my credit reports.....they sent me a letter saying they promised to get back with me shortly regarding an inquiry I had made.

    I never at any time sent them such a letter of any kind.

    I never disputed my accounts with them or sent them a single piece of correspondence.

    It was very strange when that letter showed up in the mailbox.

    I have heard that if you dispute any personal info on your credit report (address, employer, etc,) they are required to do an automatic investigation of
    one account on your report.

    I don't know if this had anything to do with it.

    Has anyone out there had an AMEX account disappear and then reappear months later?
