Understanding Fico Scores
Fico credit score has actually 3 different versions, each used for different purposes by different lenders:

  • The “Factual” version is used by mortgage brokers.
  • The “Auto Enhanced” version is used by car dealers.
  • The “Standard” version is a generic version of Fico, and is the only version that’s available to consumers.

Because each version assigns different weights to different factors – the scores between them can vary by 50-100 points. All three versions run on the same scale from 300–850, as can be seen in the following graphic view of the Fico credit score range:
