Balance Reporting Inconsistencies
Balances that do not appear to line up between related fields on a tradeline or between bureaus.
What is this?
Tradelines carry multiple balance-related fields, such as current balance, high balance, and charge-off amount. When those fields conflict, the reporting is inconsistent.
Why is it important?
Balance reporting affects utilization and can influence how the account is understood.
Where might it appear?
Within the balance, high balance, credit limit, and charge-off amount fields on a tradeline.
How does VoidMyReport review this type of reporting information?
VoidMyReport looks at how balance-related fields relate to one another on the same tradeline and, when possible, across bureaus.
