I got the impression Equifax was the most pulled score by lenders.....is that true?

It really depends on where you live and which creditors are pulling your scores/reports. I live in Hawaii, aka EX land. Almost every Mainland creditor pulls EX in Hawaii, while some of our local banks and lenders might pull EQ. TU is rarely pulled here.

Some of the biggest EX pullers are Amex, Discover, BoA, FIA and Macy's. Again, it really depends on where you live, but I have noticed these companies do utilize EX a lot.

I live in CA and I am forever en-death-ed to be pulled against EX since my TU and EQ almost never get pulled. Heck they don't even get the same reporting often times.

EXPERIAN READ THIS!!! 

Flat out .... I will ask creditors what credit bureau that they use for their decisions ... if they respond experian than I will tell them directly that I will not do business with you nor apply for credit with you because experian does not provide consumers with their Fico score. 

The buck always stops at the end consumer!!! If a lender or creditor get enough negative feedback about experian then they will relay that back to experian or use a different bureau.

As if it weren't difficult enough to get errors corrected on your credit report before.  Are the credit reporting agencies accountable to anyone (rhetorical question)?  How can it be legal for Experian to have that much control, yet not even have to be accountable to you?  You can't buy love, you can't buy happiness, now you can't even buy your Experian credit score!

Aw..that's my highest score and now I won't even be able to stalk it

I just bought a "credit score" from Experian (Feb 4th). Unfortunately, the score was a "Experian VantageScoreSM Report." It's based on a 990 point scale. How can I convert this to a FICO score?

Thanks.

Welcome to the forums!

There is no way to convert an EX Vantage score to an EX FICO score. They are two entirely different scoring algorithms.

Great, I just spent $$ for a useless number.

I went to Experian from the website rcommended by my lender: www.annualcreditreport.com.

Thanks for the information.
