What is the difference between a mortgage credit score and a regular credit score?

If I understand the question correctly, the answer is that they may be using different versions of the FICO software. The FICO score you get from myfico.com and the FICO score that a mortgage lender comes up with may be different, because Fair Isaac periodically updates the way they come up with the scores. Upgrading to the new FICO software can be expensive for lenders, so sometimes they don't do it. So they come up with a different score because they are using an older model. Since presumably the model is updated to make it more predictive, it means the lender's score is more likely to be wrong. As far as I know, however, the lender will continue to use its own score, and there is nothing you can do about this.


What type of a FICO score do you need to get approved for a fast cash loan?

How is a FICO Score different from a Credit Score?

FICO stands for Fair Isaac Corporation, which is a company that calculates the credit score that most creditors use to determine your creditworthiness. So, your FICO score is a type of credit score. They use the information that each of the three credit bureaus (Experian, Equifax, TransUnion) possess on each consumer, and they turn that information into your FICO score. However, there are many other companies, including the credit bureaus themselves, the create their own versions of your credit score, and these scores are often different than your FICO score, since they are not using the same mathematical calculations to come up with your score.
