Does anyone know what score is displayed in the Discover IT monthly statement? Is it EX EQ or TU? Thanks
that is one thing I love about this board. It only takes about one minute to get an answer. Haha.
Thank you

TU 08 which is not commonly used by lenders
"Free" FICO's almost always seem to be the, "Not used by lenders" variety...lol!

Booooo...
No. it is still a FICO, not a FAKO. It is just an updated formula. A lot of lenders are still using the old model and slowly transitioning to the new one. But regardless, it is still a legit FICO score.
Answer is also available via the Disocver site. Log into your account, click on the link with the text "NEW! Discover is now providing your FICO® Credit Score for free. View Now".

Celebrate by all means. Just keep this in mind:

My Discover IT FICO is by far and away the highest credit score I have ever had. I hope all lenders switch to the FICO 08 bankcard model or whatever they are using.
