What's a PLUS score? I thought creditors and/or potential lenders check the FICO. Are they all the same?

Friday

Will someone please tell me what each and every credit score is called? Do they depend on what they are per bureau?
1smartmama: Word of advice. If you don't know, don't answer the frigging question. You that horned up over getting two token points you didnt' earn? Sad…..

    Good question. Fico is different from the plus score. The plus score and scores sold on the credit agency's websites are just fako scores, meaning a close estimate to the real fico. To find out your true Fico score this can only be purchased by using http://www.myfico.com. The fake scores can be off by as much as 50 points!

    PLUS is the same idea as FICO. It is computed by a different company using a different formula. FICO is used much more often.

    You also asked what each credit score is called. If you mean exactly how is the FICO score computed, FICO won't say. http://www.myfico.com/CreditEducation/ is the closest they will tell you.
