I notice there is a 50 point difference between Experian and Equifax, Experian is my highest score now. But all the information is reporting the same. I do have more inquires on Equifax than Experian. I have 7 inquires with Equifax and 3 with Experian. How can having the same information on two CRAs come up with different scores, Will my scores every be the same number for all 3 CRAs?
Now if ya asked for the meaning of life, I could answer that one...
Like different companies, making the same size shoe, but each feels different, even though the size is the same.
Different algortihms. Even a single company can have different models that produce different scores.

Anything's possible but it's highly unlikely. Why are you fixated on them being the same? Again, they don't use the same algorithms so it's a given that the scores will differ.
Additionaly, differing number of inquiries != same information.
I guess I want to know if it can happen, but just was curious. My Tu and EX are just a 2 point difference

You're lucky. Sometimes mine is like a rollercoaster.
That's the million dollar question these FAKO score systems try so hard to decode.
I'm pretty sure the ample difference in hard pulls play a role in the difference of your scores. But 50 points?!? That's weird.
I'm wondering the same exact thing. My Exp. score has the least no. of INQ's than the other 2 and one or two less baddies that the others--but it also 45 and 58 pts. LOWER than the other two!! It's (EX) probably the best report out of the 3-go figure!!
There's 49 different Fico scoring models out there so it all depends on which one is being used
