Discrepancy in scores

[Anonymous]

I have a 629 Equifax score with myfico.com and a 591 Equifax score with privacy assist of Bankofamerica.

Why is there a discrepancy in the same Equifax scores with different services

Hi there, the score that you have from B of A is known as a "FAKO" score.. in other words, an unreliable score that can be up to around a 100 points difference compared to an actual FICO score that lenders use. I would not rely on credit scores from thirdparty websites except myfico, equifax.com (EQ score only), and transunioncs (TU score only). Hope that helps.

How are you today. Thank you very much for the reply. I was just on the phone with privacy assist of BankofAmerica and they were telling me something about different services using different softwares.  

Well. That's good to know. Does this site also allow you to view your credit report? Or to just get your fico credit scores.

Your report comes with the score when you buy it, so if you go to 'My Products' and click on the score you bought, you should then be able to click through to the items that make up your credit report.

Oh yeah, I forgot to ask. What about Experian? Can I go to their websites and get my credit score as well? Or is just myfico, equifax.com and transunion.com   (by the way, the acronyms EQ, TU stands for equifax and transunion right?)

I am using the Free 30 day version of the myfico services...  Can I still see my credit report details?

Nope, on EX(perian) - they only sell their Plus Score, or whatever it's called, on their site.  I think you can only get your EX FICO here.

On TU (TransUnion), make sure you go to transunioncs.com - that ending 'cs' is critical.

EQ(uifax)'s score from their site is a FICO.

So far as I know, yes - if you purchased a score, you should have an accompanying report.  But I did goof - it's called 'My Purchases'.  Click on your score on that page; that should take you to it.

Thank you very much for the info. Scamp. I am in the process of trying to rebuild my credit.
