My wife and I went to look at a car this weekend and thought we'd get decent financing, as I've worked really hard to bring my credit score up after some negative credit issues from back in 2008. Equifax, Transunion, and Experian websites all say that my credit is 695-700 (slight differences between them) but the dealer came back and said, I was at 580-600 because they "use a different calculation" for vehicle financing.
Is there truth to this or am I getting fleeced?
