i cant believe this.

Hi,

Just checked my TrueCredit FAKOS:

 

TR - 588 / EXP - 627 / EQ - 580

 

Also checked my FAKOS on creditchecktotal

 

TR - 721 / EXP - 593 / EQ - 572

 

Does anyone have an idea why such a huge difference with the TR FAKO? 

I checked and re-checked the credit report from both website and every listing and inquiry is the same on truecredit and creditchecktotal. Evrything is same including the dates but the scores are 588 and 721. I want to pull the TR  FICO but am waiting for March to update my accounts as I have slightly lower utilization.

 

Thanks.

No.

And this is because no one has any idea what goes into any of the FAKO score formulas.

Hate to say it, but this is like being baffled because one psychic hotline 900 number gave you a different reading from another psychic hotline 900 number.

LOL!

 

I think maybe the FAKOS use this method:

TU 791 02/11/2013, EQ 800 1/29/2011 , EX Plus FAKO 812, EX Vantage Score 955 3/19/2010 wife's EQ 9/23/2009 803
EX always was my highest when we could pull all three

Re: i cant believe this.

Hmm...I knew they were not accurate. Thats why I have and follow myfico score. However I had surmised that they'd be a little close to FICO..+/- 20-30. And also that creditchecktotal (experian) was more accurate than truecredit. Dint know they were all ridiculous. They ought to stop 'selling' these scores.

They are all absolutely ridiculous. There is no correlation, whatsoever, to a FICO score.
