Hope this answers your question
Reply:The score range really depends on Credit Score Model which is used for score calculation. There are several credit score models were developed by credit bureaus and other companies. Any credit score model can be used to calculate credit score on credit report from any credit bureau.





The most popular credit score model is FICO and used mostly by lenders, other models are used by consumers. It is funny because mortgage brokers get FICO score and consumer at home is checking PLUS score, it is not comparable.





FICO Score: 300 - 850


PLUS Score: 330 - 830


TransRisk Account Credit Score: 300 - 900





Vantage Credit Score: 501 - 990





FICO developed by Fair Isaac Corporation, PLUS score by Experian, TransRisk by TransUnion credit bureau, Vantage Credit Score is created by all three credit bureaus in partnership.





The same credit scores in different models are not the same.





By the way Vantage credit score is calculated based on all three credit reports meanwhile other score models are calculated based on one credit report. That is why you have three FICO scores when you get three credit reports and only one Vantage credit score when you receive credit reports from all three credit bureaus.
Reply:The FICO systen scores from 300 to 850. The highest I've ever seen is a 830, and the lowest was a 376. Anything below 580 is considered bad credit, 580 - 660 is fair 661-720 is good, and 720 above is excellent. Now, this will also very from creditor to creditor.
Reply:850 - 750 = perfect


750-700 = good





anything below that , needs scores worked on to make them higher .
