I'm praying that my score didn't drop 45 points in the past month because I see no reason for it to drop off. I actually had a lot of bad accounts age off since that report, a total of 8 actually.
So how accurate is the Experian FAKO score vs a real FICO score?
They do not correlate. They could be exactly the same or a hundred off. Search the forums here for ways to get an EXP fico -
FAKO's are not accurate. If accurate they would've been FICO scores.
