    Thinking about applying for a card from some of these banks. Anyone know which CRA reports they pull?

    Bank of America
    First USA
    AMEX
    Fleet Bank

    Would appreciate any insight.

    Thanks.

    AMEX - Experian, Fleet - TU. Applied 2 years ago with FUSA; they pulled Equifax then. Also Equifax with NetBank 3 months ago. I live in GA.

    Hope this helps!

    I'm currently putting together a web site with an application that you can add your creditor, state and CRA used into the database. You'll also be able to search all the existing data as you like.

    I registered the domain yesterday. I've been working on the site for the past couple of days. It's about 50% done. It will be online soon, and I'll post the URL.

    SOMEBODY previously suggested that MOST could pull any of the 3 major, but if one credit reporting agency has a "SALE ON REPORTS" they will pull from that credit reporting agency...

    I'm about 75% done with it. You can seach the list by creditor name (sorts by state and CRA, and gives a total count of how many times a particular CRA was pulled by each creditor in each state, etc.), you can add a new creditor to the database (for others to use when adding inquires, just to speed up input time), and I'm currently working on the part to allow you to add your individual inquiries to the database.

    Should not be more than a few days. :)

    Along with the creditor name, the CRA pulled and the Zip Code (references the state), I also store the date on which the record was added. After we gather some data over a few months, we'll start filtering and/or provide a method to filter by date.

    The site is ready, by the way ... announcment to come shortly. :)

    Visitor will be able to add whatever inquiries that were made. For example, I just had MBNA pull both my TU and my Experian - I added both.
