Re: Credit Sesame score

Yeah, CS totally misses my tax liens and as a result they have my score at about 770.

 

Most other REAL FICO scores are about 680.

 

I stop by CS every now and again to feel good!


Starting Score: EQ 653 6/21/12
Current Score: EQ 817 3/10/20 - EX 820 3/13/20 - TU 825 3/03/20

Re: Credit Sesame score

Mortgages don't use the same scores you see here..you probably know that since you've posted the same thing on several threads with others responding to you about why.

Re: Credit Sesame score

just trying to let people know this site is useless for mortgage scores. They sure don't point that out anywhere else

Re: Credit Sesame score

Actually when getting my car loan my Credit Sesame score was closer to the score the lender pulled then my FICO thru this site was. So I'm not sure how that worked out?

So I'm not the only one.

 

I read somewhere that the FICO 04 is more accurate as to what lenders have vs the FICO 08

Re: Credit Sesame score

My credit union pulled a 682 EX which was 10 points higher than CS, while this site had my EX at a 627! I can only assume that they are not using the newest scoring model, thank goodness as it had dropped my scores by an average of 50 points!

My credit union pulled EQ which was dead on to what My Fico had, however CS has me 2 points lower than what My Fico has me for EX.
