83 point diff between DCU/Discover score

Very strange both reports look identical except my TU has a major derogatory on it that EQ doesn't .  Has anybody run into a big score difference that also looks odd?  I know the 3 bureaus don't use exact same scoring model but this is odd, unless I'm missing something major.  From everything I can see my EQ should be higher than my TU but its 83 points lower.

 

Neither is reporting a cc and a cli on diff cc I recently got, so that's not it.

That would be the culprit there.

Maybe I'm wording it wrong but TU has a major derogatory on it but is 83 points higher than EQ that doesn't have that same major derogatory .

 

my TU looks worse as far as I can tell but is 83 points higher.

 

i don't agree that all these negs should be on my report but that's diff issue:

 

neg 1:  on EQ it's a 30 day late from 2010.  On TU it's same 30 day late plus has a 90+ day late starting later in 2010 (to me this why I'm confused on score).

 

neg 2.  Both have a 30 day late from 2010.

 

neg 3:  both have a 90+ late but EQ started it dec 2012 while TU started it jan 2013.

 

neg 4:  both have a 30 day late from 2014.  

 

To me, TU looks worse.  As you can see both reports have the exact same 4 neg bills, just diff dates.

OK.. got it.

 

I do know that the versions are different.

 

DCU FICO Beacon 5.0

Discover TU FICO 08 Credit Card enhanced.

 

Other than that, I've no idea.

Thanks.  I was sort of wondering if the model DCU was using was lowering my score.  I'm gardening and was hoping to have descent scores this time next year.
