Forgive me....I posted this before and no one seemed to care. Would like to have some allies in my battle to get them to report same day, not two week old data.......... MY ORIGINAL POST: ***Read the 1-2 weeks part*** Dear Mr. xxxxxxx, Thank you for email inquiry. Your Privista account consists of credit information directly from Equifax, in turn, receives your updated credit information from your present creditors and lenders. This credit information is reported to Equifax monthly. Once the update has been reported to your Equifax Credit Report, you will see the change or update on your Privista account within 1-2 weeks. For further assistance with this matter, please contact the number listed below. Thank you for contacting Privista. We appreciate your business. BHO Privista 1-877-926-8859 Monday through Friday, 8AM to 5PM EST OMG!!! It's actually their policy to be a week or 2 old with their data. What use is that?????? If anyone has time (I don't right now), could you look and see if anywhere on their site that it states that for only $59.99 we'll give you your 2 week old credit report!!!!! Does anyone else find this completely unacceptable. If you are a Privista member, and thinks this is BS, let's band together and make them change their policy to SAME DAY reports, not 2 weeks old!!!!!! Who's with me?

Hope it's helpful. :0 Doc
You're absolutely right, the Privista data is a little aged. Since I signed up with PrivacyGuard (still in my free 90 days), I've been comparing the two, and it looks like privista's lag is more like ~10 days. I picked up a hard inquiry 4/8 that still hasn't shown up on Privista, but I expect it will show in next week's update. Privacyguard, on the other hand, registered the inquiry on the same day. It's too bad privacyguard costs so much, it's really a nice service.
I'm with ya man, I just don't know if anything will change with privista. I have consumerinfo, since creditwatch would never let me "enroll."
