Not hard to believe for 18 year old...thats about what my scores were at 18. My friend's at that time was actually bordering on 800.

Oh yeah, http://creditmonitoring.citi.com is great.

I'd believe a credit score near 800 at 18, but not a FICO score near 800 at 18. The length of your credit history is a significant factor in determining your FICO score. My short credit history still counts against me after 5 years of having credit.

Regardless, you misinterpreted what I said. Based on the level of maturity the OP has displayed here repeatedly in the past, he seems at best 16 years old.

uhh ever heard of errors?

That would be the accurate part. He said he hasn't checked his score in 7 years, didn't say he hasn't gotten a credit report in 7 years.

FYI I am 22. I attend a major university in California and you can ask mod if my email is from a major university because it is.

Correct. I usually check my report once a year. Twice if I remember to do it. It's free every six months for Georgia residents.

Which website should I go to, to get all three numbers? I have been to annualcreditreport.com , but all that gives is the report, no numbers.

You have to pay for credit score. If you are going to buy, only get the one from Equifax. That's the one with the true score. Experian and TransUnion sells their fake score.

You can get free score from the eloan link I gave above.

What do you mean by "fake" scores? They are lying to you?

If I buy it from Equifax, does that give me all three numbers, or just theirs? And the eloan link will give me all three numbers, or just reports?

Equifax is the true FICO score. Both Experian and TransUnion gives you score from system they developed which is similar but not the true score. So if you're going to buy a score, only buy the Equifax one. Other two are good to know if you're curious but unnecessary.

I believe eloan link gives you the free FICO score which is the one you want. But I haven't used it. I know Clark Howard mentions the eloan site as a good way to get a free score.

If it is fake why would FICO sell all 3 credit scores to people.

And FYI Experian and TransUnion score system was created by the FairIsaac Corporation, same with Equifax score system.
