Hi, Roberta. We show you all of the information that we can from your TransUnion credit report. When you want to find out additional information, we highly recommend that you check your full TransUnion credit report regularly at AnnualCreditReport.com. In between these checks, keep your eye on your credit with Credit Karma. If you have any additional questions, please email us at support@creditkarma.com
why is that my ontime payment percentage has slowed to a crawl.whe it was in the 80,s it jumped a point a month.now that i have reached the 90′s it jumps about 1/3 point per month.at this rate i will never fix my on time payment history.can someone please explain.do they not want us to fix our credit.it seems the only true help for poor credit, is more debt.it doesnt make sense
Hi Kelly, we get all of our information (including scores) from directly from TransUnion. If something’s wrong, we’d recommend checking your full TransUnion report at http://www.AnnualCreditReport.com.
