Why is my credit report and PLUS Score different among the 3 bureaus?
When creditors report information to the credit bureaus, they can choose which bureau(s) they want to report to. Some report to only 1, whereas many report to all 3. When a creditor chooses only to report to 1 or 2 of the bureaus, the remaining bureau(s) will not have access to, and therefore will not include, that account information in your report. For that reason, your scores may differ among your reports.

Similarly, the credit bureaus do not share information and may report information that is inconsistent with the other bureaus.
