Credit score fluctuating from 668 to 645 to 659 (Experian) in just 1 month. Is this normal?
Posted on July 30th, 2010 2 commentsC o n f u c i a n asked:
….Or does the score vary on which company retrieves the score? For example, on 11/10 I found out my 3 scores through a Transunion service. Experian score was 668.Then on 12/10 I signed up for a credit monitoring service (free trial) with Bank of America and my Experian score dropped to 645.
Then today I signed up for credit score analyzer with Discover for $8 a month. I am going to stick with this service. They only use Experian but they are the most difficult. And my score today was 659.
Is this type of fluctuation normal? Look at how my score dropped with Transunion from 713 on 11/10 to 672 on 12/10…seems odd.

I did just get a foreclosed home and was low on cash so I opened a Home Depot store card in November with a $5,000 limit and I used up over 50% of my limit ($2800/$5000). This was urgent so I had to do it!! I will be making a $2,000 payment next month…I suppose this could have brought my score from 713 to 672 but that seems like a big drop in a couple weeks!

How quickly do credit scores change and do the scores vary if a mortgage lender pulls them?
Posted on July 27th, 2010 2 commentsnirvanas_love_01 asked:
a couple weeks ago My husband and i pulled a trimerge at our mortgage lender. My husbands scores were 592 618 644. Today I enrolled in credit monitoring and his scores were 611 627 628. How accurate are these scores if the lender would pul them again? DO the scores vary depending on who pulls them or will the scores he pulls be the same on our credit monitoring report?

I know they vary from each reporting bureau I want to know if they vary depending on what type of company pulls the report
