if you DIDN'T get them from www.myfico.com they are incorrect
and you have wasted your money (reports themselves are obviously still valid)

Re: What's the highest credit score you can get?
transunion and experian are the companies that collate the data that goes into the credit report.
the scores they come up with are basically made up on their own forumla and are nearly always different from the proper fico score that lenders see.... the only one that I think is the same is the equifax score.
scores not from myfico are known in the credit world as FAKO scores (fake fico scores)

gives a good explanation
the scores you have currently are as valid as these:
equifax - 605
Experian - 812
transunion - 756
which I just made up....

Re: What's the highest credit score you can get?
Perhaps TransUnion and Experian have given you their own scores which mean nothing outside of each respective credit bureaux. i.e. they have no credibility in the credit lending industry.
