myFICO.com (Fair Isaac): "What’s In Your Score"
National credit reporting agencies
Why aren't the three scores exactly the same?
- Data each bureau collects may be slightly different. For instance, you might have an old car loan from a company that reported only to one of the bureaus. The other two are missing that "tradeline."
- The score algorithm (formula) is different between the three bureaus because the data they track of is not the same. For instance, Equifax counts the number of bank or national revolving accounts with balances, while TransUnion does not.

Fair Isaac suggests using the Reasons delivered with a score in notifications of denial of credit.
