So which site is accurate?
My Fico as of 3/25
TU - 661 EX - 612 EQ- 635
On the experian website (through USAA) as of 3/13
TU- 666 EX-583 EQ- 553
On Transunion site, my score is 620 as of today
On Exquifax site, My score is 622 as of today
which one do I go by?
The scores from the various sites are FAKO rather than FICO scores, and the TU score available from MyFico is an old model (TU 98).
So I'd go by the EX or EQ scores from MyFico, and they appear to be in basic agreement with each other.

Initially I was told that creditors take all three and average them.
Ive yet to see even one creditor do it that way. So far they seem to use TU nearly exclusively when Ive applied for new credit.
And as I just posted on another thread some creditors dont seem to use standard scores but may have a modified manner of pulling scores.
When I got my Statefarm card the TU score they pulled was nearly 50pts lower than what I was looking at. I called them about it and she said they used their own modified FICO system. Obviously having a hard score in hand didnt mean a whole lot if they didnt even use it. I was approved for $5000 which was more than I expected, but it just made me realize that scores are just a guage.....they arent set in stone and certainly a creditor can use them or ignore them and have their own thing going on.
