Or there's an issue with the way FAKOs score. 
Even if FAKOs increase it doesn't mean FICO would do the same. FAKOs can easily increase and FICO decrease, or vice-versa, for the exact same event. For example I once had a CA go away. My FICO increased 58. My FAKO decreased by 8 which means that the particular FAKO (I think it was a TransRisk) included CAs into history as this CA was at 7 yrs when it dropped.
Also know that FAKOs have differing score ranges than FICO. Vantage, for example, is 501-990 compared to FICO's 300-850. Or GECRB's score maxes out at 620. It's a YMMV per FAKO. They also include stuff that FICO does not. Some FAKOs, like PLUS, score inquiries for 2 full years vs. FICO's 1. They also don't update daily. PLUS says in their fine print they don't update daily, so if you are checking a service like USAA's you might be seeing score delays. My CC-enhanced TransRisk via my Barclays SeaMiles updates weekly or so, but is always at least a week behind.
Lots of good info, llecs. Thanks!
Starting Score: 520
