PSECU offers a EX FICO to members. Otherwise you'll have to get it from a creditor that pulls EX like a mortgage lender, or AMEX.....

Re: Experian FICO

Im a new member, can you explain what PSECU is? So AMEX uses a FICO EX model? To get AMEX to help me out that would mean applying for the card and a HP? and Thanks for your wonderful input. I am really loving this forum. Had no idea this existed. THANKS....

PSECU is a credit union in Pennsylvania ~ check their website to see if you qualify for membership. And yes if you get your EX score from a creditor it would require a HP most likely. Unfortunately EX doesn't allow consumers to purchase a FICO score :smileysad:

As PizzaDude said, PSECU is a PA credit Union....more specifically, it's the largest teacher's credit union in the state. I'm a member through my brother and my wife. Getting my EX FICO through them is the only reason I even joined. Cool perk. From what I can tell, it's the real FICO that banks actually see...not some outdated Experian Model that is no longer used by lenders.

 

I find it ironic that EX no longer sells its score to consumers since it's the one most used by banks for non-federal program mortgages like SBA and Fannie/Freddie mortgages. 

 

As to your question about AMEX....

 

Amex generally pulls EX, in my experience, when you apply for a card....provided they only pull one. In 2 apps I have made with them, it's the only score they pulled. When you apply, they'll tell you the score.


Starting Scores (Sept 2011): All lower-mid 600s. CURRENTLY: TU FICO: 785 (2/7/13), EQ FICO 762 (2/7/13), EX FICO 776 (5/11//13) (PSECU). Goal: Achieved! Now Maintain!

myFICO is the consumer division of FICO. Since its introduction 20 years ago, the FICO® Score has become a global standard for measuring credit risk in the banking, mortgage, credit card, auto and retail industries. 90 of the top 100 largest U.S. financial institutions use the FICO Score to make consumer credit decisions.
