New to this, conflicting SCORE Info from MyFico, etc.-Please Help!

Long story short, I am new to the MyFico and credit world. I have been trying to clean my report up after a failed relationship took it's toll on my finances. I've been cleaning up for about 6 months, got my scores from the low 400's to about 654, then they dipped to the 600's about a month ago, paid off a line of credit I had and now, I purchased within hours of each other, the Suze Orman Kit on here, pulled TransUnion and Equifax, stated my score with Equifax was 638, and TransUnion was 650. Then I had my free trial with TrueCredit for TransUnion still, so I updated my credit report and score on their end and I showed something completely different, 725 for Equifax, 708 for Experian and 686 for TransUnion.


I have a free monitoring service through work for Equifax, so I pulled my score through the Equifax site and it said 622. I don't know what to believe!!!!!!


I know you might say that's a lot of pulling, but the "soft" pulls, when you request your own scores/reports don't affect your score.


I am about 90 days out from having a house built, they just got the permit approved and now I am worried about maintaining my approval for the loan because of my dip in scores, I think what happened was, the line of credit that I paid off, was reduced from 15K to 5K, not because I was late or anything like that, but because the company is in dispair and basically wants to protect their "assets" or at least that's what I was told. It's through HFC/Beneficial (love them, Just Kidding!)


I don't know if I should go now and have my lender pull the report just to see what they get, or sit and wait. Thoughts?

The score you got here are the same scores the lender will pull, real FICOS, the stuff off the transunion and experian site are FAKOS, and just there for some sort of scoring purpose, but its not what lenders use.
