Experian score higher than MyFico...why?

[Knight302]

Have been working on my credit for a bit now and experimenting with different things. I just checked my experian credit report and score. My experian credit report shows a score of 669 but the MyFico shows 651. Which one is correct? With all the different scoring methods out there, how are we to know what is right or wrong?

If you using experian credit tracker, then that updates first. My fico will update a week later. They are behind.

Interesting. Thanks for the info

No prob, it was really annoying me at first. I didn't know which one to believe, but yup always updates a week later for me.

If you are lucky myfico will update a week later, could be much longer. And I agree the answer to the original question is that Experian is the correct score.
