    now ok... here it is... if fico is fico is fico, why is my fico for tu 707 when my fico for eq is 725.. all cc balances are EXACTLY the same on both reports. I understand that the tu faco is diff (mine is 760) but why is fico different?

    eq:
    36 accts
    10 accts with balances
    total 44k
    length 12 yrs
    0 negatives
    score: 725

    tu:
    43 accts
    8 balances
    total 41k - 3k LESS!
    length 12 yrs
    0 negatives
    score: 707

    please explain if you can - thanks!

    looks like a few more old tradelines - 2 car installments back from 1993 and 1995 and the others are cc's

    The only thing I can think of is if any of the extra cc accts TU is reporting are open, perhaps FICO doesn't like the fact you have so much available credit?

    I agree with smontoya5 as I figured the 7 pt difference between my scores is due to the extra account on equifax.


    eq:
    accts 20
    accts w/balances 0
    neg accts 0
    Total bal on all accts $0
    Length 6 y, 6 m
    Inquiries 0
    score: 680

    tu:
    accts 19
    accts w/balances 0
    neg accts 0
    Total bal on all accts $0
    Length 6 y, 8 m
    Inquiries 0
    score: 687

    PS - I don't know why the FICO score account summaries have 0 negative accounts when I have a paid collection on both reports.

    I would be cautious about disputing those tls it may very well lower your score. If you have all the negitives removed I wouldn't worry too much about the actual score.
