Trans Union Scores

I know the verision on Myfico for Trans Union is an older model but it is the only one I have access to at this time. 

 

My question is - do most people find their scores higher or lower with the new version.  I am trying to get a guestimate as to what my score might be on the newer model.  I am sitting at 669 on the myfico version.

 

Thank you!

Re: Trans Union Scores

Always assume your TU04 (assuming you're gunning for a mortgage) is lower. It might be higher, but at least you would be better off had you not prepared. IME, it was a mixed bag. DW's TU04 was higher than TU98 when compared the exact same day after a mortgage app. My TU04 was 10 points lower when compared the same day. Seems like for most TU04 is lower.

My TU04 was lower by a handful of points.

Re: Trans Union Scores

Both my wife and I had a TU04 score much higher than the myfico version.  20+ point difference.

Re: Trans Union Scores

The TU98 score offered here is getting as bad as using a FAKO.  Anecdotally,  I've heard that Barclay's still uses the TU98 model but NO other major lender does.  TU04, like EQ's Beacon 5 and Experian's V2 seem to be the standard, at least for the mortgage industry.  Whatever politics that prevent MyFico from preventing them to offer the most widely used TU04 score escapes me.  Smiley Mad
