Discover, Barclay and Walmart TU
FAKO.....CS & CK
just for monitoring CR's other than that just good for laughs
My CK score hasn't changed in 4 months even tho I know it has grown by 50 pts
EQ feel free to join in the fun
Definately. EQ is the one that get pulled the most for me in Louisiana. I have SW so I get regular updates on scores with balance/score changes but it would be nice to have a free source of EQ scores.

So is the Merrick Bank and FICO or FAKO? It says on the Merrick sight that it is a FICO 8. When I tried to research that here on the boards I never found a "final" answer.
Thanks!
I read that Merrick is TU 08 bankcard enhanced? And Unitus is an actual FICO. EQ 04

The reason I am so curious is because my Merrick score just went up to 640 from 607 last month! Since it is a TU I was thinking of taking a shot at the Walmart card.
I would have no idea about that lol. I do hope someone else does, though!

Credit.com!!
credit.com gives you two fakos monthly, Experian National Equivalency Score (same one as CS) and the Experian Vantage Score 3.0.
Also note MYCREDITINFORM service ends June 30, 2014. Cap one replaced it with their Credit Tracker.
