who lied, experian or transunion?

I ordered my credit score both from Experian and 3in1 credit report from Transunion this morning, Experian said my credit score is 716, Transunion 3in1 credit report told me my Experian is 645, what the hell.

Re: who lied, experian or transunion?

Welcome to the forums!

Both "lied" --neither score is a FICO score, and they don't match each other, and they don't match FICO scores, which are generally what are used by lenders.

Please check out Credit Scoring 101, or at least the first post, linked down in my siggy. This might also help:

http://ficoforums.myfico.com/fico/board/message?board.id=ficoscoring&message.id=26143#M26143

But do read Credit Scoring 101. It's a great summary of things you need to know.

Gah! Working on it! Shoved one daughter out the door to move to New York, just got back from Atlanta four hours away to pick up the other coming back from Ireland. Getting there, getting there....

Smiley Very Happy  Poor HTSU.  I've pretty much decided you must be at least twins, if not triplets, to manage posting/monitoring all you do on here plus everything you seem to do offsite!
 
Hope you know how much you (and our other mods) are appreciated. Smiley Wink  Hope your DD had a great time in Ireland!

Re: who lied, experian or transunion?

She had a great time. She's been showing me all the videos that didn't post properly on her Picasa page. And for once, she's able to get up in the morning, as she's she five hours off. Major laundry day coming up. Her apartment washers and dryers cost 6 euros to use --about $10 per load. She's a bit gamey.

I realized later that my post above might have read as being crabby, and I didn't mean it to be. It was a please-world-settle-down-and-let-me-do-something-fun! I had hoped to do the post at the beach, but I seemed to wind up on the balcony, listening to the surf and hydrating a lot. And posts made after hydrating don't always make sense! Smiley Wink
