Does Navy Federal use FICO EQ9 or TU9 for car loans?

Hello, I'm fairly new to the FICO boards. I am thinking of buying a car next June. My chapter 13 is due to fall off all of my CR the end of May 2021. My scores are right at 700 for all 3 bureaus (EQ 689-EX 695-TU 701). I'm assumimg that I will get a score boost when the BR comes off. and I have 1 bad account on EQ that should roll off at the same time IIB. My TU auto 9 is 711 and my EQ auto 9 is 687. As you can see my TU score is higher. I'm hoping to be above 740 by June. Can anyone help me with this question please?

They used to use EQ, but now they've moved to TU9 for all credit products.

Thank you for your help. I have my eye on a 2017 Lexus LS 460. It feels good to be getting myself back on track. Can't wait to look at my Cr and not see BR chapter 13.

To clarify, are you saying they use Auto Score 9 for auto loans and something like a credit card approval would use Bankcard 9?

I believe they've switched to TU for credit apps. Back in September I was approved for a car loan from them and they pulled my EQ5. 

I was kinda surprised cause I always heard it was EQ9 for auto loans.

I'm not entirely sure which version of TU9 they use for each. I believe it's just regular TU09. No bankcard or auto enhanced.

I spoke to NFCU today and they told me they pull TU.
