I recently applied for an apartment and was prepared to receive a lukewarm response based on my score, which on myFico is in the 660s. But I was told by the realtor that the score came back in the high 720s. It was a pleasant result, but confusing just the same. I just got an updated myFico score to see if anything had changed with it -- nothing had, still in the 660s for equifax and 680s for tu.
I'm of course aware that most times the disparity in consumer and lender reports is a negative one -- i.e., the actual score is lower. In my instance it seemed to happen in the inverse direction. Can anyone offer any clues, thoughts to what might be at play?
