Re: Wow - Difference Between TU '98 and '04

My fico gave me 641 for TU and my broker pulled 648 using TU '04, not much of a difference.

Re: Wow - Difference Between TU '98 and '04

Old thread but I was very bummed out today.  TU 98 vs 04.  Any update when we can buy 04 scores?

 

MyFico.com pulled 6/14:

EQ 616

TU 635

EX ??

 

Lender pull 6/14:

 

EQ 616

TU 618

EX 630

 

No USDA loan for me!

No update yet.  Unfortunately, it's essentially up to TU to decide whether to offer the 04 score to consumers.

Re: Wow - Difference Between TU '98 and '04

I know this is an old thread, but my experience was the same.

myFICO TU - 614

Lender   TU - 579

 

Wells Fargo is currently taking 600 and above for USDA and FHA. This literally killed my application for now. does anyone know what TU FICO 04 is most greatly effected by? I'm going to pay-off the most current delinquent credit card and hope for the best. I have three bad debts. The others are over two years old.


Starting Score: EQ 577 lender pulled
Current Score: EQ 641
Goal Score: 750

On 2//7/12, a loan officer told us that my husband's TU 04 fico was 647. We pulled it from this website on the same day and the TU 98 fico was 676. A difference of 29 points.

So I guess there is no point purchasing a TU score from this site? Does anyone know where we can purchase one? I bet if everyone stopped paying for the TU report, myfico would get us the correct one.

Starting Score: 595 2/5/12

This is my thoughts exactly. Plus it is $20 now to do a pull. My opinion is that the TU98 score on here is just as much a FAKO as Credit Karma. You may as well use CK for free for just as helpful of a score as the TU98.

That's probably not too far off if the lender is using TU04.  My understanding though is that there are some out there that are still using TU98, so it's not completely worthless.


Starting Score: ~500 (12/01/2008)
Current Score: EQ 681 (04/05/13), TU 98 728 (01/06/12), TU 04 728 (lender pull) (01/12/12), EX 742 (lender pull) (01/12/12)
Goal Score: 720
