Because they are FAKO scores

My FAKOs average 40 points lower

Nope--don't know any lender who uses them. I still have no idea why the CRA's even invent and display them, other than they can maybe fool some people into paying an extra $5 when they pull their reports.

Surely not! :smileysurprised:
