credit report from refi

We just started a refi and they mailed us our scores which is typical. This is the first time I seeing a new scoring system. My Equifax report scores me 810 out of a possible 818?? Does this look normal? IMG_20200616_130451crop.jpg

This exactly, what's listed on that credit disclosure is the real world min/max of EQ FICO 5.

 

It wasn't until FICO 8 and later that the algorithm scaled to 850.  Yeah it was another complaint that it didn't which is why it changed presumably haha.

Thanks. So this isn't new scoring but ancient scoring? This is through Wells Fargo.

It's still widely used by almost all lenders today.

 

Each of the Bureaus still use some version of the old fico models (2,4,5).

It's standard for the mortgage industry, the GSE's underwrite still on EX FICO 2, EQ FICO 5, TU FICO 4, from 1998 for the first and 2004 for the last two.
