The commentators before explained it best. You never really know what your score is until you pull it. On top of that the score the banks pull is always alittle different. I wish congress would do something about this next. Hint!

Credit Karma uses a consumer based score. The number itself really isn’t very important – it’s the trending that you observe over time, and where that number puts you related to other lenders, that matters.
