Equifax Credit Score™ vs FICO® Score What is the difference between the Equifax Credit Score™ and the FICO® Score?
Both the Equifax Credit Score and the FICO Score are general-purpose score models used to predict credit risk. The Equifax Credit Score is a proprietary model created by Equifax. The FICO Score is a proprietary model created by Fair Isaac Corporation (FICO) . All Equifax consumer services and tools make use of the Equifax Credit Score unless otherwise indicated.
The Equifax Credit Score uses a numerical range of 280 to 850, where higher scores indicate lower credit risk. The FICO Score uses a numerical range of 300 to 850, where higher scores also indicate lower credit risk.
The Equifax Credit Score can be used to calculate a score for not only your Equifax credit file, but also your Experian and TransUnion credit files. This gives you the ability to compare your credit scores across all three credit reporting agencies, which can be useful in understanding your credit.
Though both score models predict similar types of risk, it is important to remember that because they were created independently by separate companies, they should not be expected to deliver identical scores. In some cases, an Equifax Credit Score and a FICO Score calculated at the same point in time may be similar. However, in some scenarios the scores may differ, perhaps significantly, based on how the different models calculate risk
Starting Score: 620Yea they still have the Fico score, about 3 different ones.
But its not unlimited scores. You only get 3 to 4 per year.
I want unlimited.

Sorry for late reply..you didn't quote me so I didn't know you were talking to me..LOL this thread got all mixed up.
I actually called about their service I just bought and had a question and at the end of that
I was asked about anything else and told them about a collection that was showing unpaid and that it was paid and showed paid in the other 2 CRA's that
they should cross checked (not knowing if they could or would..still don't know ) and they said they would delete it and they did.
I was shocked 
but I did pay it last year and it shouldn't have been listed as unpaid in collections. I got off the phone
quick before they changed their mind and said to send in a dispute.
Hope it stays off as I hear these things can pop back up.
