That's doing pretty good John. I have much the same thing except from a different perspective on my website. My list tells which is the preferred credit bureau most likely to be pulled by merchants in one's geographical area by zip code on a statistical basis. Using the two lists together should help folks a little bit at least. What mine will do best is to tell folks which CRA they should be working on the hardest to clean up because it is the most likely to be pulled by the merchants in their area.

Where did you pull you're information Bill, and how large is you're sample? I was just wondering, because I live in Nebraska, and I have yet to find a bank that pulls Trans Union. I would love to find one, because I have a clean TU report. Seems to me that most of them pull Experian.
You are right about that link. But it gets put in by the message board program and there is nothing I have been able to do about it. bbauer1@netzero.net
About the list - I don't think it is always correct. I live in Arizona, and out here, the preferrred creditor is Credit Data Southwest, which is the local office of Experian. The list lists TransUnion, which I have never seen used by any of my (local) creditors pulling my reports.
Which, AGAIN, is why the ULTIMATE CREDITOR/CRA LIST at www.millcbs.com is better than all the other lists. According to the inquiries that have been added, Arizona has the following: Experian - 16 total inquiries, TransUnion - 6 total inquries, Equifax - 5 total inquiries. I'm telling you -- nothing is better than getting the info right from the mouths of those who are actually APPLYING for credit and reporting their results.
