| | Credit Scoring (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08) |
 | | Produced with a computer model created, most often, by Fair, Isaac and Co. (or "FICO," leading to the somewhat generic term "FICO score"), a credit score is intended to be a snapshot, or summary, of your credit history. |
 | | It is possible to have a high score with one credit bureau (Equifax, Experian, or TransUnion) and a low credit score with another, just as you might have a clean credit history with one bureau and a muddied record with another. |
 | | Wide-ranging credit scores are rare, however, although some lenders admit to seeing borrowers with scores that vary by 100 points or more. |
