I would suspect (but could be wrong) that Discover used the newer TU04 version while myFICO sells the older TU98 version.

From a BK years ago to:
EX - 3/11 pulled by lender- 835, EQ - 2/11-816, TU - 2/11-782

And you say that you recently were approved for AmEx? I hope you don't mind me asking, but which card did you app for, what report did they pull and what was your score? I was under the impression that AmEx primarily pulled Experian, therefore if most of your baddies were on TU then that might explain the denial from Discover. Or did you have the same amount of baddies on both? Were you a prior AmEx customer and if so did they back date you?

Discover used TU, but Amex uses EX, so do you not have that collection on EX? Also, did you use your cards after the Amex approval? Or did any statements cut? Sorry, no luck with Discover....they don't deserve you.....
