Until recently I would have thought the same thing. About a week ago the CFPB released a report that analyzed an extremely large number of consumer reports in order to determine the difference between the available scores lenders use as well as so called "educational scores" aka FAKOs.

myFICO is the consumer division of FICO. Since its introduction 20 years ago, the FICO® Score has become a global standard for measuring credit risk in the banking, mortgage, credit card, auto and retail industries. 90 of the top 100 largest U.S. financial institutions use the FICO Score to make consumer credit decisions.
