I'm happy with freecreditreport.com. Sure, their scores are "FAKO" but it helps me stay on top of my credit.

Yeah.. appreciate your confusion. My answer is clearly going to be confusion. Believe it or not the three credit bureaus do not figure your credit report the same (similar). They each have their own scoring models that they believe most accurately represents a credit user. Now that said, many of the credit companies offering monitoring services and the like also use their own credit scoring systems (similar) but not exactly the same. Then you add in that they are not all using the same year (like 2010). Some use other year models. So... the long and the short of it you will not get the exact same results. All information being equal... they will be close. Remember credit reporting and marketing is a business so we want our users to believe we have the best model for predicting credit performance (results evaluation rests with the user).
