JTsdaddy Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 Are the Fico scores Largers or smaller that the Fako scores fro true Credit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willingtocope Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 Different. That's all you can say for sure.However, IMO, the FAKO scores are closest to the FICO Bank Card (what I call sucker) scores. Your FICO mortgage score or FICO new car score is likely to be considerably different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTsdaddy Posted August 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 Higher or lower.. ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willingtocope Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 Different. FICO mortgage wants 0% utilization with no outstanding collections. FICO new car wants no repos or other car defaults. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momof5 Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 Depends.Historically, for MY scores, around 570 - 585, FAKOs are higher. Around 590ish and my real FICO was 620ish. Also depends on where you get your FAKOs. The above was for TC of which I am one of the banned many. For my CIP scores, EQ is 10 high. EX is 40 low. TU is 60 high. Ya never know.

Fizzle1979 Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 I found my Fakos to be HIGHER than my FICOs. I think its just so you will go apply for new credit and get approved but at a crappy interest rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hopinglikecrazy Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 I also have True Credit. I also have Transunion and pull just that report there. My TU FAKO score between the two of them are within 10 pts. I pulled my Fico scores last week and found they were substantially higher than my FAKO's. In the range of 40-60 pts higher... I was very very suprised. Just remember if you pull from myfico.com there are a lot of coupon codes out there you can use for a discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hendu Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 Does anyone use Chase Identity Protection? I cancelled them because my scores were so out of whack. XPN: 612TU: 540EQ: 404My scores are identical across the board and my XPN score is the lowest.WTH??? Their rep explained to me that they score different than others. Well, I can see that! I have been using TrueCredit for years and I thought they were off. TC scores are at least 40-60 points behing the true scores. I'll trust TC before I give anymore $$ to CIP!

AboveAverage Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 My FAKOs have overed near low six hundred land for awhile. That's why I don't bother updating it. But my FAKOs are useful because it tell me when to pull for my FICO...when it changes at least 5-10 points, that's when I see myfico.com....I just checked my EX yesterday as that has been done reporting for the month. I'm 671 Fico on EX (5 points, yeah.....but I'll take it). When I pull TC and see the changes I need on the other two, that's when I'll rerun my FICO scores...TC and FICO must have different criteria...which is why your TC might be lower, but FICO might be higher. The one thing I do agree with WTC is I try to keep zero balances only for my mortgage FICO to increase (which is not the same as the "sucker" score). Whenever I see a change period on TC, I will see a change in FICO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
