29 points discrepancy between myFICO TU and GE pulled TU

Guys,

 

I just received a denial letetr from GECRB in which it lists my TU score of 679 pulled on November 19, 2012.

 

I remember I pulled myFICO TU on this same date (I checked checked myFICO account to confirm the report & score date) and the score was 650. I was a bit disappointed but I decided to call GE anway immediately to ask for a CLI on my Paypal SmartConnect. Got approved from $900 to $2000. The rep asked me "what else can I do for you", so I tested my luck and asked for double the granted amount which obviously got denied, hence the letter I got today.

 

Question: why 29 points difference from the same CRA, pulled almost at the same time?

Re: 29 points discrepancy between myFICO TU and GE pulled TU

Probably a combination of two factors.

1. Different scoring models. myFICO uses TU98 model, most lenders use TU04.

2. Different variant of scoring model, ie auto-enhanced, insurance-enhanced, credit card-enhanced



04/01/2020 - EX 849 (Credit Scorecard EX FICO® Score 8, range 300-850)
02/20/2020 - TU 850 (Discover TU FICO® Score 8, range 300-850)
03/24/2020 - EQ 884 (Citi EQ FICO® Bankcard Score 8, range 250-900)
GOAL - 800! - App free since 11/22/2017

besides myfico = TU98

GECRB = TU08   

Mortgages/Car loans = TU04 no way to buy or have access to TU04 without apping to my knowledge
