Hi. I am looking to get a free credit report from Equifax and TransUnion. It looks like if we apply through mail we don’t have to provide our SIN whereas we have to provide our SIN if we are applying through phone or online. But with mail, I’ll have to send my drivers license copy. My question is if...

... is 3 days before the next bill date. So technically I will have an unpaid overdue balance for 3 days. My question is if Rogers would report to the credit bureau if my “payment” was late and unpaid for those 3 days? Does Rogers/telecom companies report to the credit bureau right when there is a ...

So basically I have monthly claims on my credit report from koodo for $18 since 2018. I had no clue this was going on and assumed this bill was settled a long time ago. The issue is Koodo is telling me they sent it to a collection agency. The collection agency is saying they don't have it. I call eq...

What if a dispute was sent to the credit bureau but they informed the person it could take up to 90 days to investigate and update the report? Is there any process or special department ...

I’m looking for some input as to what I should do in this situation. I have a collection account on my credit report from December 2016. I know the debt is valid and mine (albeit I’ve apparnekty incurred some interest). I know Canada doesn’t do ‘pay for delete’ which is a shame. Anyways, I’m going t...

I just received this letter from the Credit Bureau of Canada Collections stating I owe $6000 for an unpaid freedom mobile plan. My issue is that I've never had an account with freedom mobile. They are demanding that I pay within 10 days or ...

... I know my chance of getting that money is slim, but I want to at least have their credit score lowered. Is there a way I can report them to the credit bureau or any good recommendation for a collection agency in Ontario?

I noticed that Statistics Canada pulled my Trans Union credit report on October 24, 2017. (Interestingly this 'Account Review Inquiry' [soft-pull] didn't appear on the Trans Union hardcopy disclosure I received in November 2017; it took a while to 'post' to my credit report.) [Note: Trans Union soft...

So I got a call back in 2015 from the credit bureau of Canada (or their affiliate I guess- whoever "collects" the money.) I had my daughter enrolled in a daycare from 2011-2014. I paid the director cash each month, and she would tell me that ...

I use my credit cards a lot and most of the time am at about 80% utilization by middle of billing cycle. I always pay my balance in full on due date but over the years realized that my balances show up as 80% utilization on my credit reports (Equifax). I was of the belief that since i paid it in ful...

I am looking into buying a house. I just pulled my credit scores/reports today, and found that Transunion has a better score and no collections on it, while Equifax has a collection. I wonder if there is any mortgage lender (or Bank) that only pulls the credit report from one, or other, or both bure...

I was contacted by an agency for a debt on Thursday; Paid the debt in full on Monday. Is the collection agency not obliged to report to the bureau of full payment received or is incumbent on me to do so? I spoke with a collection's agent after the payment; and she is opinion that any new updates in ...

I just checked my scores on both Equifax and Transunion. Not sure if I should be comparing the two scores. I am still building my credit scores after a derogatory. My current scores are: Equifax 619, Transunion 739. I notice Equifax has a collection that I do not recognize. Are the scores supposed t...

Hi. If you close a credit card within 2 weeks of opening it does it show on CB? Would it effect it a lot. I signed up for the $300 CIBC bonus on new account and the advisor cross sold me a credit card. I decided my other cards (Scotia Gold Amex, and other cards) are better for me and I really don't ...

This list I put together is very useful when applying for credit to see the likelihood of you being accepted or denied, especially if you have a derogatory item, or a lot of recent hard hits, on one credit report but not the other And for it to remain useful, we RFDers need to edit it as a community...

Is there anyone on this forum who knows for certain whether or not there exists such a thing as a "note" in credit profile with some kind of an indication that the credit profile belongs to a student? I've recently been enticed to apply for a student credit card with some rewards at my university, b...

Allow me to say thanks in advance for any advice. I had an account with Rogers that was sent to collections on 18/08/2010 for 1161$. Being a student/young at the time I shrugged It off completely. At this point I can only make a payment to Rogers. They informed me that based on the length of delinq...

Hi folks; So here is a dilemma I am faced with. I got a call about 30 minutes ago from some random collection agency, that I owe cogeco cable about $300.. From January of 2007, 3 months after I finished university and moved away! In (what I assume to be) typical third party collection attitude, the ...
