    a. There are three major national credit reporting agencies and many small local ones. If more than the score is different, the bank and credit card company may be using a different one than you are getting.

    b. Scores are computed using a variety of different systems. From the same report, a bank or credit card company can calculate a different score than the place that you are paying for scores calculates for you.

  3. 3 major bureaus have their own scoring system. FICOs within a bureau have different types and different versions.
