Credit Rating Agencies

The three major credit reporting agencies in the United States, (Equifax, Experian and Trans Union) calculate their own FICO scores, which go by different trademark names as well as many different versions of the score(often differing because what they are meant to predict and when they were written):

For example Beacon, Beacon 96 and the Pinnacle are all available only from Equifax; Empirica Empirica Auto 95 Precision Score and Precision 03 at Trans Union, and Fair Isaac Risk Score at Experian. These versions, while all developed for the agencies by Fair Isaac, differ and are periodically updated to reflect current consumer repayment behavior. The NextGen Scores are the most recent scores, but creditors vary in which version they prefer to use.
