How different is the Experian Credit Score from your actually FICO?
Last year I did my annual free credit score, which takes your score from all 3 bureaus.. and did one of those free 30 day trials to get my credit score like 6 months ago and it was 517. I havent made any payments to my only negative account, but now my score is like 624 on a free experian one i did today. how different are the two scores?
My Experian FAKO* score is consistently 45-55 points above my actual FICO score. Thus, if your Experian PLUS score is 700, you should assume an actual FICO of 645-655. And although you didn’t ask, a TransUnion FAKO is much tighter: about 30-35 points above your actual FICO.

It is calculated on a completely different scale, using different weights, factors, and criteria. The Experion score is generally 100-150 points HIGHER than your actual FICO score….that is due mostly to the Experian score having a higher ceiling.
