    This website:

    http://nt.mortgage101.com/partner-scripts/1213.asp?p=relibrary

    claims the following:

    "Scores range from 350 (high risk) to 950 (low risk). A scorecard of 660 will be 660 on Beacon, Empirica and Experian/FICO if the data on each file is the same. However, each repository is likely to contain different data."

    I thought that each of the 3 CRAs use a scoring system created by Fair, Isaac but each have there own little quirks to them to create a different score w/ the same report

    This is an interesting link you found.

    I believe that you are correct that each CRA has a tailored version of a FICO score model, but the scores should be pretty close if the information in each credit file is the same. Normally a FICO score is on a scale of 300 to 850. These is defiantly a lot of misinformation out there.

    "FICO scores range between 300 and 850."
