Well, I don't know what you're looking at that calls itself a "credit score." FICO scores are the ones that are used by most lenders. As hard as they can be to figure out, at least they're consistent, unlike the others ("FAKO's".) Lenders might call FICO scores by different names --for instance, many lenders call EQ FICO scores "Beacon scores."

Basically, you have to look for the FICO logo and the somewhat cheesy FICO gold score seal.

You get all three FICO's from this site (www.myfico.com), plus your EQ FICO from Equifax, plus your TU FICO from www.transunioncs.com (note the cs at the end.) The rest are FAKO's, right up there with Monopoly money.
* Credit is a wonderful servant, but a terrible master. * Who's the boss --you or your credit?
FICO's: EQ 781 - TU 793 - EX 779 (from PSECU) - Done credit hunting; having fun with credit gardening. - EQ 590 on 5/14/2007
