why does Credit Karma show my score around 75 points lower than the big 3 credit companies?
Good question? Vote for this

Equifax, Transunion and Experian Show my score at around 700, yet Credit Karma shows it as around 625. What the heck?

Credit Karma is showing my credit score 124 points below my credit report from 1 year ago, yet I show no inquiries, late payments, lower credit utilization. Is this data accurate?

no matter where you pull your score it is going to be different. Heck if you get a mortgage or auto loan even their scores will be different because they use different criteria. I would not worry about the score on this site.

Credit Karma pulls your score from TransUnion (from what they told me in an email) so it should match that one, I know mine does. I don't know about the others though.

This year TransUnion switched to the Vantage Score. That score has a different range, 550-990.

 this site is not the same score as the one Ihave on transunion.  I think they just make stuff up.
