Transunion score doesnt make sense!

5 Months ago I got my three scores on this website.  Equifax was in the 698, Experian was 696, and Transunion was 627!  I couldnt believe there was a 70 point difference and I checked over my report and everyhthing seemed OK but there was some kind of phantom late payment within the last month showing in the credit at a glance section in the myfico section.  I never found any kind of late payment and I know for a fact I never paid anything late.  Anyways I filed bankrupcy in 02 and I noticed there was a couple items that didnt show closed so I disputed these things and went over everything with a fine tooth comb.  I mailed in my dispute and waited a couple months.  I rechecked my transunion score again and it raised like 70 points and it was in the 690s along with the other two.
 
So I thought everything was ok...WRONG!
 
I was going to go buy a car and I deceided to get on here and check all three scores just to make sure everything is good before I apply for a loan.  My Transunion score  dropped back to 727!  and once again is said I missed a payment within the last month.  I have no idea what this payment is just like last time.  I decided to call my bank and get prep approved for a loan and they came back with a igh interest rate and she said the bank uses transunion and my score was 627 and thats why the high interst rate.
 
There cannot be a 70 point difference.  I was in the 690s with transunion a couple months ago and thought I had this fixed and then it dropped 70 points.  I dont know what to do....I had some duplicate items in my past bankrupcy when I checked recently and I disupted these and mailed the form in.
 
I dont get it.....I called my fico and they said they cant find any late payment but yet the site said I have one within the last month just like months ago when I got all three scores.  This is killing me I should have qualified for a decent rate yet this score screwed me and it isnt right.
 
any thoughts....ideas?  i am at my wits end here!

Re: Transunion score doesnt make sense!

There is an occasional display error with TU on myFICO reports, but it wouldn't affect your score, as your score is crunched by TU at their site, off their full reports.

Have you gone to TransUnion and pulled your full report from them? (Don't buy their score; you just need the report.)

I'm going to try to check with someone on this...

Check your report and see if there is a "closed" date for the accounts that you got added back as IIB. A closed date might have popped off, making it look like a current derog.

Re: Transunion score doesnt make sense!

I checked my report on the truecredit website and there is a closed date that did pop off.  it said last reported this august 2008 and it does not show a closed date on this account from my bankrupcy in 2002. It also says chapter 7 bankrupcy but in all my other accounts it says "included in chapter 7 bankrupcy"  this one just says "chapter 7 bankrupcy"
 
There is also an account listed twice on there?  same account number and everything but it is listed twice.
I disputed all of this online..hopefully it will fix it!  I pray

In a perfect world, you could just point out to TU that the closing date ought to be the same as on the others. I hope that common sense prevails!

What's the duplicate account? Is it one of the IIB's?
