Great article for those that do not know as we do here, that all scores are not created equal. I have yet to see something that could be considered an "across the board score" for anything myself.
We still don't know what the bank sees as a score until we're hit with an HP. I love how in the article they said: "Consumers should correct for this by shopping around for credit. Lenders offer different loan terms, and consumers should look for the best option, the consumer bureau said."

True, but the score you see should be a ballpark figure of what the lender will see. (YMMV of course)
