How does one obtain (as cheaply as possible) their FICO scores for all 3 credit bureaus? I know Trans Union gives me my score with them every time I get a credit report from them. What about the other two? Thanks in advance, Johnny Blood
Johnny the score you get with you free TU report is not a true FICO score, that is why you will see it refered to as a FAKO score. to get a true FICO score from TU you have to buy it. as far as how to get the other two, you can sign up for their 30 day trial. I am not 100% sure that these are both true FICO score, opinions vary here on the board
you can get your EQ FICO score from www.myfico.com (i pretty sure that's the true fico score judging by the name). it does cost $12.95. for EX you can sign up for CreditExpert, but this store is NOT the FICO score but rather a FAKO score, but IMHO it is relatively close to the FICO. good luck
If you sign up at Equifax.com for CreditWatch you get your true FICO score from myfico.com as part of the 30 day free trial.
They're 3 "seperate" companies, and they all want to make the most money. Not that I know of. Newstdt
There is a new site I tripped over that may give you all three real FICO scores along with a tri-merged credit report but cheap it is not. Go to: http://www.personalcredit.com and click on "3 bureau on line credit report link", then click "order now". It costs $34.95 for the tri-merged report with the Equifax FICO score. You can add the other two scores for an additional $10.00 for a total of 44.95. Note: I have never done this so I don't know if the scores are real FICO scores. For this kind of money I think I will pass.
