How many different TU scores are there?

On CK and every CC that shows TU, I'm at 774. Yet, the dealer just pulled my credit and I'm in the 800 club. Smiley Surprised

Re: How many different TU scores are there?

CK are Fako scores. The dealership could be using a version of the FICO auto scores or the standard FICO 8 or 9 scores.
You can pull your scores here for $1. https://www.experian.com/help/login.html
Just cancel before the trial ends.

All the CC use Fico 8, none are 800, all are 774.

 

And I use EX, have been for over 2 years. I think I'm in a never ending trial since they keep sending me emails every month with updates. It's 759 btw.

Lol, you're paying off the installment loans too fast. They need to run 18 months in order to show true payment history. I know the part of being in debt sucks. But as long as you have the money in the bank to pay it off, I'd stretch them out a bit longer.
You'll pay a little more in interest, but it will go a long way in strengthening your credit profile. That's If you want it stronger.
I hear ya on the churn and burn 😆!

I think there are 9 or 10 different TU FICO scores, at least that's what you get when you do a MF monthly membership.

There's even more scores from TU than that, they just aren't very common.

 

TU published a list some number of years ago, basically a product catalog, and there was a dizzying array of scores, most of which aren't relevant admittedly.  Dozens, not all of them FICO or Vantage either.

 

To Gmood's point one of the random FICO tricks is just pay *most* of a loan off and then just leave a very small amount left on the loan for as long as possible.  Sometimes lenders will make you pay it on the typical payment date, but others will push your date out years ahead and you can just baby the loan along for years while incurring next to no interest and having that FICO 8 (and a few other scores too) win for the entire time it's on there.
