What happen to my Experian Score

Options

‎01-09-2008 07:48 AM

I bought an Experian score and the score came back as a 634. A month later the score expired and I couldn't see it any more. I went to Experian.com and bought there score watch and to my surprise my score was a 584. My Chapter 13 has been discharged. Why was MyFico Score and there site score so different. That's about a 50 point difference. Thanks Robert

You can not buy a FICO score directly from Experian- it's a FAKO score
