350-800? 300-800? 300-850?

I see so many, it's like one is trying to compete with the other.

The link in the first reply mentions the Vantage score but doesn't point out it has a different scale - from 500-990.

True FICO scores are from 300-850. If you get a credit score from somewhere and it's not called a FICO score, it could be very misleading. The generic, unofficial term for non-FICO scores no matter where you get them are "FAKO" scores (they're fake, get it?). FAKO scores can vary almost 100 points from a true FICO score in either direction.

I suggest going to myfico.com and reading up on the credit education links. You'll learn a lot.
