    We could have a problem here. I have noticed the last 2 days straight when pulling my report from CW that there are no new inquiries posting as "equifax consumer services" from me using CW. Has Equifax caught onto what's been happening and set the system up so it doesn't post the soft inquiries anymore? This could really suck if it proves to be true. Others please update, it may just be mine is a few days behind and they haven't posted to the report yet. Thanks.

    I really wish you guys would stop crying wolf.. I don't suppose you did a search on this before posting did you? No, I didn't think so.

    Matty, occassionally equifax soft inquiries will not post for a day or 2, and then all of a sudden you get 4 or 6 added, and 4 or 6 deleted. Calm down. Bumpage _ WTN LKH'S Trick is alive.

    Sorry to call you on this but lots of time the search option on this website DOES NOT work. No need to be so harsh I dont believe.

    I agree. I was simply asking a question. You could have simply mentioned that there have been other posts on the subject and that doing a search would yield any and all results I would need.

    C'mon Matty, you've been around here long enough to know that. And, it wasn't necessarily posted directly to you Matty. We've been thru this at least 5 times.

    As for the search, if you use the search at the top rather than the one at the bottom, it seems to work 99% of the time.

    So are there only a certain # of hits allowed on a report? I can bump off hard inquiries by doing daily EQ soft hits?

    Many have had DELAYED BUMPAGE results, ME INCLUDED...sometimes four to six new "consumers" are added at the top, but none are gone from the bottom...but in a few days POOF...ALL BETTER...ALL CAUGHT UP!!!

    Does this "bumpage" work with other credit bureaus, or just Equifax?

    I have heard it works with TU but not Experian.

    My last EQU bumpage happened today :)
    I REALLY want to apply for something, but Cap On needs to fix their reporting before I do.

    I haven't figured out the TU bumpage yet, I have been pulling oncea week or so.
    BUT I noticed when my FAKO score goes UP, my FICO score goes down....go figure.

    There is NO easy way to do daily pulls on TRANS UNION (like CW)...some just get LUCKY, not sure it is real BUMPAGE...

    Question:

    How many inquiries were you guys up to before bumpage worked for you? I'm at 143 and still none removed.

    I checked back on this a couple of days ago.

    When I got CW 5/20/02 I had 24 total Inqs with 1 hard.

    6/20/02 had 84 total Inqs with 2 hard.

    6/26/02 had 93 total Inqs with 1 hard. (first day of bumpage)

    Currently have 119 total Inqs with 2 hard and have lost probably about 12 hard along the way.

    Hope this helps.

    I was right about 150 when I first realized this was going on. I went up to 176, and then my file was too big to pull online. The deleted I think it was 43 soft inq's and now I'm in the 140's again and bumpage has resumed. 2 hards removed in the past 2 weeks, 1 tomorrow and the last will be Saturday.
