Transrisk is an educational purpose score, no lender uses this and as such it's not relevant to any sort of underwriting approval. TBH, I find it more for entertainment value than anything else, one month I paid down my credit card balances and my score dropped. Good times!
Vantage might have some value as there are a few lenders which use it occasionally today and it might gain wider adoption in the future; however, it was developed by the CRA's jointly to be a direct competitor to FICO's products, unlike any of the educational scores provided by any of the bureaus.
Starting Score: EQ 561, TU 567, EX 599* (12/30/11, EX lender pull 12/29/11)Current Score: EQ 660, Wally TU 697, EX unknown (05/13/13)
