Different FICO scores

Would someone mind breaking down the different FICO scores for me, please? Like FICO score 2, FICO bank card score 8, FICO auto score 8, etc.? I guess not so much what each of them mean, but WHY there are different FICO scores? And is there one that's more important than the rest?

Re: Different FICO scores

This is a good place to start.

 

Read through this and it should be a good starting point for understanding all the different scoring models. If it sparks some other questions not covered, feel free to ask those, too.

1/1/16 FICO8 Scores: EX: 407, EQ: 403, TU: 455
1/1/23 FICO8 Scores: EX: 832, EQ: 820, TU: 834
FICO9 EX: 818
Total Revolving Limits: $131,800

There are 28 different FICO scores covered in the MyFICO reports.

 

It's hard to say what's most important. It seems that FICO 8 and FICO 9 are the most common for credit cards and loans.

 

The scores almost universally used for mortgage applications are EX FICO 2, EQ FICO 5, and TU FICO 4.  Sometimes these are used for credit card and personal loan applications as well.


Total revolving limits 748700 (628200 reporting) FICO 8: EQ 701 TU 717 EX 682
