Suze has nothing to do with Scorewatch. FICO has one product on which it is a business partner with her, but it's just the one.
FICO has four main products for consumers:
--Scorewatch: this monitors changes in your Equifax report, especially as they might affect your EQ score
--Suze Orman's platinum kit: this is primarily a coaching product, for getting out of debt, etc. It pulls all three scores once.
--FICO Quarterly Monitoring: this sends alerts which might indicate potential identity theft and checks your TU report and score every 3 months
--FICO Standard and FICO Credit Complete: essentially, here's your score(s), here's your report(s)
They all share some common features, but they have differing purposes.
What you seem to have is FICO Scorewatch, which is in most ways identical to the EQ version. Your scores will be the same, other than the possibility of something brand new posting on EQ (showing on their score) that hasn't yet made it to FICO.
Click on the "Products" tab at the top left.
