Today i pulled my Experian from here on Myfico.com and got a score of 645. I just applied at a local credit union for a visa (today also) and was denied because of low credit score/history. I can understand the history part as i have only had credit for just under 2 years, but they said they pulled a 611 score. She said I was pulling a FAKO and I explained no. She said they pull Fico scores so what should i do? Call Experian? Thanks.

The scores are correct for the model selected. This site uses FICO 98, the CU prob uses the newest version FICO 08. There are actually 49 different FICO scores within each FICO year model. There is one for auto, mortgage, bankcard, collection and the list goes on. There is no need to contact anyone about it just know that not all FICO scores are the same unless same model is used on same info.

There is no place to buy one in the market however you can get one free monthly if you can qualify for a card from:
First Natl Bank of Omaha if live in their service area or are invited to app for one of their cards, the score this bank gives is FICO 08 bankcard enhanced version based on EX.
GECRB (Walmart) based on TU, Discover IT based on TU and I believe Barclays also offers a FICO 08 TU version as well.
Some of the information posted here was incorrect. This site sells a TU98, an EQ04 / Beacon 5, and an EX08 score. Some creditors use the 08 scores, most use an 04 version.
Very few, if any, still use the TU98.
You can get EX04 from PSECU, if you are able to get membership.
