My transunion score is 573 here and at Credit Karma my transunion score is 657. That is a big difference. Credit Karma has FAKOS???

Re: Confused

Credit Karma has FAKOs and also missed some of the most important items..for examples if you have Charge Offs that have Balance on them that counts as part of your Utilization of the charge off is a credit card...Credit Karma only counts Utilization from open accounts not charge offs..that could be the reason for the big swing of your score.

CK offers two scores - a TransRisk score which is not used by any lenders and VantageScores which are used by a tiny number of lenders. So basically both are useless.
