Folks who’ve been reading the Quizzle blog may have already learned that when people talk about “your credit score”, they’re really talking about “your credit scores”–plural. Since there are three major credit reporting bureaus, you actually have multiple scores and reports to consider.
However, you probably don’t realize exactly how many credit scores you actually have.

Did you know each of the bureaus have different formulas for all kinds of different personal finance scenarios? If you’re looking to get financing for a car loan, or you’re applying for a mortgage, or even a simple credit card, the three credit reporting agencies–Experian, TransUnion and Equifax–actually have credit scores for you that are specifically generated for those lending needs.
So, all in all, there are actually 49 different variations of your credit scores! (Wow, from “your credit score” to “your 49 credit scores”–that escalated quickly, huh?)
That’s why Quizzle offers both your free credit reports AND your free credit scores–not just the scores themselves, like other personal finance and credit monitoring sites. If you know a given credit score, but you’re not seeing your actual reports, you’re not really getting the full story.
Further, that’s why the Quizzle blog aims to educate readers on the best practices for a healthy credit history. Since the fundamentals of credit are pretty uniform, focusing on the big picture when it comes to your credit is a wise move. Can you imagine trying to track down and monitor 49 different scores at once? It’s enough to make a Quizzologist’s head spin.
