myFICO and CRA scores: different numbers???

[Anonymous]

I pulled my myFICO TU score on 7/9/08 result: 667

I pulled my FICO score from TU directly same day result: 607

I pulled my myFICO Experian score on 7/19/08 result: 650

I pulled my FICO score from Experian directly same day result: 583

is this normal?

thanks for the clarifications,

d.

The scores you got from TU and EX directly are not FICO scores.  (I know this because it is not possible to buy a FICO score directly from Experian.  They don't sell FICO scores at all.)

This is probably the most-asked question on the Forum.

Please read the first post of the Credit Scoring 101 thread linked in my siggy for an explanation of the different kinds of scores.
