There is a difference between fico and fako scores, see link below for further explanation. Fico is the score lenders, creditors see when they pull your CR, fakos are what you get from places like true credit.

FICO is one of many companies that calculate credit scores. But not all credit scores are calculated by FICO. Just about every lender uses FICO code to generate scores. Another example is Scotch Tape and Plastic tape. Scotch is the brand that makes plastic tape. In this case the credit score is the type and FICO is the name brand.
