Re: what is up with MYFICO today???

This doesn't make sense. Did you just buy a new credit report today? MYFICO seems to take 2-5 days to update account info if you subscribe to their monitoring service.

 

If you've just purchased a report, it will show up to the minute what the 3 agencies are reporting because that report is based on data pulled from EQ, TU, EX within 30 seconds of when you clicked "BUY"

 

MYFICO doesn't actually "report" anything... They just shuttle data directly from the 3 agencies into their formula/model and spit it right back out in the form of FICO scores.

If the Bureaus all report it correctly, it should be fine with the mortgage scoring.

How are you determining the 16 pt gap, and which scoring method are you measuring that gap on?
