Difference Between Delinquent and Derogatory

This is what my summary looks like on TC. 

                        TU       EX       EQ

Total Accts       11        11        11

Open                7          7          7         

Closed             4          4          4         

Delinquent        0          0          1         

Derogatory       4          2          3

I have all the same accounts on my CR’s, so I guess they are just reported differently.  My question is what is the difference between delinquent and derogatory?  I know delinquent sounds better than derogatory but what is the cutoff that something would go from delinquent to derogatory?  Also EX looks the best but my FAKO’s EX is always lowest and when I pull FICO’s EX is usually lowest also, what’s up with that?

Delinquent means it is not marked with "Current/OK"
Derogatory means Charge off, Foreclosure, REPO, etc.

Re: Difference Between Delinquent and Derogatory

The only baddies I have are paid 2 CO's, only OC is listed.  And 2 CA's from things not usually reported on CR's, an old vet bill (which the CA has agreed to remove) and a Sprint bill. I can see the CO's being derogatory, but is it possible the CA's are reported as neither on my EX CR?   Or is it possible that the CO's are not reported as delinquent or derogatory since they are already paid?  Is there a way to find out what accounts are being reported as Delinquent and which as Derogatory?

Click on the details of each or use the "print report" to see the whole thing. TU seems to Identify these accts pretty easy.

Should be able to pull full EX and TU reports for free-
I paid $10 for a full EQ report.
