Real Credit Score

I bought my score from Equifax a few minutes ago. Here's how it stacks up against Credit Karma's version -

Credit Karma: 728
Equifax: 702
Difference: -26 pts

According to Equifax, I have "good" credit. Good amount of debt and credit history, very good payment history, and not good amount of new credit. I'm not sure when new credit stops being "new" - I opened my last card 7 months ago.

Anyway, it's a little discouraging to see that it's lower, but at least I am truly above 700. :) And I know it'll continue to increase with time!

Note that Credit Karma is a Transunion product, not an Equifax product ;-)

@Jake: Well aware. But I've never seen a *26 point* difference between the different credit agencies - or more than a 10 point difference for that matter. I'm sure the score isn't accurate, even for transunion.
