Making sense of Fico 08

I feel silly for asking this but I am still confused on the Fico 08 update.  Are TU and EX going to change too or just Equifax?  Thanks!  


Starting Score: 3/2014 - TU FICO 566, EQ FICO 569, EX FICO 563
Current Score: TU FICO 684, EQ FICO 662, EX FICO 664
Goal Score: 700+

Re: Making sense of Fico 08

myFico has now changed so now here you get TU 08 EX 08 EQ 08

Before you app think...
Have you done your research of the CC?
Does it fit your spending?
Do you have a plan for the bonus w/o going into debt?
Can you afford the AF?
Do you know the cards benefits? Is it worth the HP?

Re: Making sense of Fico 08

You mean on this site?

 

EX has been 08 for some time, and TU changed to 08 a few days ago.

Re: Making sense of Fico 08

Ok...that's what I figured.  I got the email last week from Scorewatch about the Equifax update.  My TU didn't change....until I pulled it today after a CO was deleted.  I was thinking...man...what a hit for a gone CO! 29 points. lol.  Guess TU updated too.  

 

 

 

Thanks!

Re: Making sense of Fico 08

I'm confused about the change, also.  DH received upgrade email and got a 40 point bump to 740. I havent received an email although I've been Scorewatch subscriber since 2005 (DH 2007).  Will everyone one  be upgraded or is there some criteria being used to dtermine who upgrades?Of course, I'm hoping an upgrade doesnt mean a lowering of my current score, but I think I understand that it doesnt matter what happens with any change the 08 edition causes  if lenders are going to be pulling 04.  From the various threads I've read, sounds like only the '08 version is going to be available on MyFico so I would think all Scorewatch subscribers would be upgraded, but since I havent received upgrade notice, I'm confused..

I think i read somewhere they are in process of upgraing everybody to eq08 who subscribes to SW this summer. You can ask to be upgrade to EQ08 if you want by calling in. You can also get eq04 from equifax directly thru their site or if you are member of DCU. That way you will have access to both eq 04 and 08 , it will be at an price but at least you will have access to it.
