What is your latest Discover statement score?
I'm not sure the source of the Walmart, BofA or Barclays, so can't confirm their usefulness in this sequence.
It looks like you got a boost in late March, and consistent through April.
I changed due date of Discover card so I haven't had an update yet.
All the others are supposed to be FICO 08 scores.
I kinda wondered why Barclay's was 50 points lower.
Ok, like I said I can't vouch for the others, but you only have one Barclays score in the bunch. It could be that Barlay in the prior month was 650 or 655, which would keep it in line with the trend of the others.
With any scoring system, you want to track that scoring system to itself over time, not compare to other scores.
The exception is when baselining what you know to be TU 08, so myFICO TU 08, compare to Discover, fine, those are the same. CCT TU likely also. Step too far away from a known score, though, and you start getting into strange differences at any point in time.
I got the score bump at end of March I imagine because a joint car loan with ex wife fell off TU report and 18 30 day lates on the account....she got the car and finally paid it off last summer.
thanks for the input!! I will keep watching and I hope I am on the upward swing and no more 600's!
TU's reporting is screwy. My Barclays shows 749, and my actual score is 793. My Discover score also used to be wrong, but that recently got fixed somehow. In other words, don't worry about it.

I will try not to worry but I want Barclay's to think highly of me!

I'm not sure it matters. When my score was low by about 50 points with Discover I was still getting regular CLI's. It was almost as if, even though they were displaying the wrong score, the right score was being used for credit decisions.
