When I was buying my house earlier in the year, Credit Karma was about 30 points low... They were saying 730ish and I was actually 762.

Creditkarma has been 10-70 points off, from my customers that come to dealership (showing me on phone), so take it as an estimate, not exact

You have different scores for different types of credit. It also isn't always updated to the day


If you want accurate credit scores, you have to buy from FICO corporation website MyFico and find specific Auto/Mortgage model to buy


MyFico is the only 100% accurate with all different FICO scores on the market.

Seems like credit karma factors in current CC balance as % credit usage even though said balance will be paid in full monthly. Like someone else said, it's an estimate.

Credit scores use your reported balance from CC companies. Most companies report once a month when your statement is issued.


Paying off in full doesn't mean much for your credit utilization if you let large balances ring up on your statement

Credit Karma just plays a song verse when I log in. It plays, "You can have whateva you like." Pretty awesome app.

Did you really think you were going to slide that not so subtle, subtle brag in without people commenting?

I get free FICO scores from Chase, Citigroup, and BankofAmerica. Theres a 30pt variation between the High and Low of the three. All three derive their scores using the Fico 8 model.

Most CC statement scores use this which is not used for Auto/Mortgage

The variation likely comes from what time of month they report and which credit bureau specific model they use
