wildly varying credit scores

[avcnslts]

My credit score with one company has ranged between 795 and 418 for the past year. There has been no significant change in my credit picture. There is no information as to why the score declined/improved. First, how can I determine what effected my score? Second, does it matter?

Hi, welcome to the forums!

There's not nearly enough info there to tell us anything. Were all these scores FICO scores, pulled here (for the most part), or are some from TrueCredit, some from CreditSecure, some from myFICO and so forth? Which credit report (EQ/ Equifax, TU/ TransUnion, EX/ Experian)? What changes, significant or not, have appeared on your report?
