Which bureau/service do most of the major auto lenders use?

I am looking to lease a new vehicle by year's end. My three scores vary by about 20 points. I'm curious if there is a single destination auto lenders go to to pull scores? Do they pull all three? A combined single score?

 

I want to begin monitoring my credit score and knowing the above could help me figure out which product to buy.

 

Thank you.

You need to take the "lease" concept off the table with a relatively fresh repo. You are going to be looking at purchasing,-even if you could lease I doubt the payment/terms will be favorable compared to a purchase.

 

You need to right now generate a relationship with a local credit union that may be friendly/less stringent in lending to you.

 

As to what Bureau?

 

That is different to each specific lender and also to region of the country.

 

Ford Motor Credit may favor Transunion on the East Coast, but Equifax on the West.

 

Good luck in your pursuits
