Re: Mortgage lender FICO vs what i just bought FICO

More than likely different scoring systems from the two lenders/providers. 

My MyFico TU score is 700+, On Barclay Fico TU its 630 something. But they use two different models. 


Wallet: Chase $6,000 - Discover $1,500 - Walmart $2,200 - Voyage FCU $1,300 - Zales $2,300 - Elan Fin: $12,500(AU, reporting) - Chase $8,500 (AU, reporting) 1% UTL

EQ and EX purchased here are the 08 models, and could definitely be different elsewhere. That's a big gap though. Do you happen to have a collection on your report for less than 100 bucks?

Mortgage lenders typically use the 04 series of scores.

 

The ones found here are EX 08, EQ 08, and TU 98.

That's why there is a big difference. The 04 model that they are pulling still factors in collections that are under $100. The newer 08 model, which you are buying here, doesn't count collections under $100. That's why the big difference.

 

And you can't buy an 04. EQ 04 was available for purchase here up until a few months ago. Now EQ 08 is sold.

Well just for an bit of clarity you can't buy eq08 here, but on equifax website you can buy eq04 still. You just need to be careful you buy the right one i think its called score watch 19.95 is the price.

I didn't know you could buy an EQ 04 on their website. But you can purchase an EQ 08 here, that's all that is sold here for EQ.
