Ignore anything that doesn't have a myFICO seal on it. It's easiest to buy them all here.

The score you're looking at from EX is probably an Experian PLUS score, which has a higher top number (950, maybe?)

The score that TransUnion/TrueCredit gave you is their TransRisk score.

The problems with all the non-FICO scores is that no one has a clue how they're driven, and almost no lender uses them. They're a whole lot like getting a palm reading. Entertaining, and occasionally they guess something right, but ultimately meaningless.

681 is a very nice FICO EX score for someone just starting to look at their credit --not shabby at all.

And do realize that you have two other FICO scores --EQ and TU --and they probably won't match your FICO EX, because the credit bureaus commissioned different formulas, plus generally there are some differences in what's showing up on the different reports.

FICO's: EQ 781 - TU 793 - EX 779 (from PSECU) - Done credit hunting; having fun with credit gardening. - EQ 590 on 5/14/2007

You should believe the score from myfico.com. Did you read the FAKO/FICO thread?
