Credit Karma vs FICO

from The Credit Show

You checked your Credit Karma score before walking into the dealership. It showed 720. The finance manager came back with a rate you didn't expect. Here's what happened: the score you saw and the score they pulled are two completely different numbers — and nobody warned you. Harry Jacobs breaks down the critical difference between VantageScore and FICO, why over 90% of major lenders use FICO scores that never appear on free apps, and how a couple's $40,000 mortgage mistake came from optimizing for the wrong number. Know which score is actually in the room before you apply for anything that matters. If you would like a free consultation with Harry Jacobs at Credit Restoration of Nevada, text CREDIT or call 702-778-2000.
