Barclays, Walmart & Discover all give the same score its FICO 08. It is a valid score that lenders do see.

Re: Barclays CC

Thanks for the fast responses! Anything is better than where Im at know so that gives me some optimism. It says Im at 598 so only 2 to go to reach my goal score for the short-term. I just added some new accounts so Im assuming it may dip and then go back up. However, I have had two new accounts added to me credit file and my scores went up about 20 points in 3 days!!!!
