I also am trying to get this information. One Credit Card Vendor provides a Trans-Union Score and another C.C. company provides a Trans Risk Score. They run about 100 points apart with the Trans Risk score being the lower of the two. Calls to Trans Union and the Credit Card people do not provide any information? . . . Anyone?
