Credit Karma gets its credit scores from TransUnion, one of the three major credit bureaus. So I'd say very accurate =).

When i checked on freecreditreport.com there was only a 3 point difference. Credit Karma being 3 points higher. As far as I know they check all 3 bureaus.

My experience is that the score is significantly offAs of yesterday Credit Karma reflects my score @660.  I am refinancing our primary residence & the morgage broker pulled my scores.  I was anticipating scores in the 600 range & to my surprise my scores are:  FAIR ISAAC 800, Classic 809, and Beacon 797  - evidently I have excellent credit & all along I was thinking in the 600 range.  If you really want to know - you should pull.
