TU vs. EQ

Anonymous — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 03:08:22 GMT

Hi All,

Not looking to drop $40.00, but want to get a current score. Do you think it's more beneficial to know TU or EQ?

Thanks

If I could only choose one it would be the Equifax score because it is the version (Beacon 5.0) that most lenders seem to be pulling right now. The TU score here is the older TU98 and although many lenders still pull TU98 it seems more and more are using the newer TU04 and TU08.

This makes sense, and was kind of what I was looking for. I know the info. in my reports as I have a monitoring service, but since those scores are fako I don't pay attention to them.

Thanks
