I want to share my progress with scores from various CRA's since I started tracking them to compare against my FICO scores
On 09/21/11 I signed up for Credit Secure through Amex and got my EX Plus Scores: EX-718, EQ-634, TU-650
From that point I started working on correcting errors on my credit report and improving my scores.
On 10/07/11 I called Discover for CLI but was declined for various reasons but received a letter with my TU fico score of 708
On 10/11/11 I called Amex for CLI but was declined for various reasons as well but was given my EX fico score of 685
On 10/18/11 I signed up for the 10 day trial of EQ Score Watch and my score was 686...6 days later my EQ jumped to 702
On 10/25/11 I signed up for the TU monitoring service here and got 689
On 10/28/11 I signed up for EQ Complete Premier and got the following scores EQ-704, TU-691, EX-703
The same day I also signed up for a trial at Experian.com and got an EX Plus Score of 749
On 11/01/11 I signed up for TU trial from TrueCredit.com and got a TU score of 762 which I understand is a Vantage Score...Credit Karma also has same score for me
This same day I refreshed my EQ report and my score jumped up to 713
On 11/3/11 I got an alert of score change and my EX Plus Score jumped to 771, I also got my EQ-728 and TU-769
I know the only scores that really matter are FICO but it's nice to know that my scores are moving up across various scoring methods

haha yea it is very confusing! When I first signed up for Credit Secure and saw my scores. I was happy to see I was above 700 with EX before I really knew that it wasn't a FICO. I'm going to try for a CLI again soon with Amex
Cool info, Thanks for sharing.
