Welcome to the forums. Banks during the mortgage process use a different scoring model than myFICO. You can pull the 08 version of your FICO here, whereas mortgage lenders generally pull your 04.
691 and 817 is a big difference though, assuming those two are the same credit bureau? Any chance that you have a small collection, either paid or unpaid, for less than 100 bucks on your report?
