Hi, I could'nt believe it last week when I went to Credit Karma and the credit score said 650.I'v been a steady 630 for about a year.So,after that shock I went to Capital One cc website last week and it said 630.This week I checked Credit Karma and it's still 650.I checked Capital One it's updated to my surprise 650.Last year when I started my credit repair I paid for a Myfico TransUnion credit score and it was 630.The same as Credit Karma 630 back then.I know CK and CO are for the most part facos and great for monitoring.I have had no significant changes in my credit.The only things I am focused on is paying down debt,never being late and new positive credit.I can only imagine that this dramatic increase could increase real points onto my real Myfico credit score.I don't plan on paying for the Myfico cs until next year sometime,but I am happy for the improvement.I still have a long way to go.I just want pass along the good news.

Grats on the increase, remember those scores (CK & Cap-1) are the same Fako and are not representative of your true Fico scores. Paying down your utilization on each card and overall is going to be raising your Fico and you most likely will see no movement on those Fakos. That CK score BTW is the TU New Accounts model and no lender uses it to approve credit. Keep up the good work
Keep it up. You're going in the right direction. Congrats
Keep in mind that CK also did a website change and I believe they changed their algorithm also as my score dropped about 20 points just by the website changing over to the new website.

Mine was just the opposite - it jumped about 26 points with the new algorithm. For me it seems to be closer to my actual FICO 04 scores.
Great news, and who cares if it's a FAKO, it's a morale booster. I posted this awhile ago and maybe it'll help someone who is focusing on the points and not the journey. Enjoy: http://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Rebuilding-Your-Credit/For-all-those-rebuilding-don-t-sweat-the-poin...

Mine went from 712 to 692. My TU fico is 691 so it's pretty close.
