Hi everyone I just signed up to "my Fico" and looking at my scores they are about 60 points lower than when a mortgage company pulled my scores 45 days ago. Is there a difference with what they pull compared to what I see this fico site? Thanks!
There are a gazillion different FICO scores (slight exaggeration, but only slight).
myFICO shows you the FICO 08, unmodified score, which is often used by credit card and personal loan companies.
The Tri-Merge report is pulling FICO 04, at least for Equifax. I'm not positive if TU or EX might be FICO 98.
Thank you for the information! I understand it and yet it's confusing at the same time.

Yes. Yes, it is.
But it comes down to, the scores that mortgage lenders pull can not be purchased by the standard consumer (you or I), with the exception of Equifax. Their Score Power® FICO Score is the FICO 04 model. Only the Score Power though... all their other products use EQ's propriety "educational" score.
Honestly though... it all comes from your reports. And the reports are always the same, no matter who pulls it.. All that changes is the scoring model.
p.s. Forgive my multiple edits please. My fingers are going faster than my brain today.
CreditFitness is right. And just as there are different FICO's for mortgage pulls, there are different ones for Auto loans too.
But, as was mentioned, it really does all come down to your reports. Clean reports garner better scores. The older the baddies, the better the numbers!

they can be purchased thru 'Mortgage Pre-Flight' same scores lenders use.

You got me all excited. However, from what I can see, general consumers have to go through a PreFlight lender.
Not interested in the sales calls.
