My husband & I recently checked out our credit report from freecreditreport.com. Everything looked great! We decided to pay the fee for our "fico score" & we were really pleased & yet surprised. We knew we had EXCELLENT credit but when the scores appeared (we paid a fee $ 5.95 for them) we were really suprised. We chose to check out our score w/ experian. My husband's score was 888 & my score was 900! I didnt think that sounded right. I always thought the highest & most difficult score to receive was 850. SOOO??? What's the deal? Has there been a change in the range of the numbers from each credit reporting agency or is this ALL wrong information???? I really need to know.Thanks for all your help!
I agree with Peas! You didn't buy "fico scores" --you bought FAKO's.
Your FICO's are probably great, but there isn't a formula that will allow you to translate a FAKO score to a FICO.
If you want to know your FICO's, there's a promotion on now through July for 20% off of all three scores via myFICO's Credit Complete. I think it's summer20, but check the home page to be sure: www.myfico.com.
Welcome to the forums, by the way!
