Scoring differences between EQ and TU

Question.... Had a collection removed completely from reports.. got about a 17 point increase from TU but a 1 point drop in EQ. Any ideas why. I have so many accounts the AAoA effect should have been next to nothing.

Starting Score: 656(EQ myFICO) 668 (TU myFICO)
Current Score: 638 EQ 680 TU08 677 EX
Goal Score: 750

    EQ doesn't like collection accounts.  More so than TU or EX.  EQ is slow in reporting upgrades but fast in down grapes.

Re: Scoring differences between EQ and TU

I pulled a fresh score power report and EQ shows the account deleted, but the score went down 1 point. Is it possible that it takes EQ longer to update the score, but the report is updated?

Re: Scoring differences between EQ and TU

The FICO score that you get is based on how your report looks at the exact time you requested it ~ there is no lag in updating.

It sounds to me that you probably have other negative information on your EQ report that might not be there on TU.

Plus each CRA looks at and scores the same information just a bit differently. For example TU always tells me my "non-mortgage balances are too high" whereas EQ seems not to care in the least what those balances are.

Re: Scoring differences between EQ and TU

EQ does report my foreclosed second mortgage from 2006 diffrent than TU but that is the only difference. When I do the simulator it says my EQ score will go up 30-45 points with one month of ontime payments so I guss we will wait and see. Thanks for the responses.
