What is the difference between your credit score and your beacon score?
Your beacon score is basically an equifax branded FICO score, there is no difference except that a beacon score uses data found in your equifax credit report only. So if data furnishers do not report to equifax it will not appear on their credit report and thus this information will not be reflected in your beacon score.
Is it possible to get a credit score 570 and a FICO score of 664?
Yes. There are three (3) credit bureaus and each of them have a different algorithm for computing a credit score. A FICO score is a branded score that comes from Fair Issac Company and is generally used as in input to credit bureau scoring. Having such vastly different scores, however, is more likely to come from having different information in the different credit files. Sometimes lenders only report to two (2) of the credit bureaus, and some only report to one (1) bureau. Your scores are only going to be as good as the data available to the credit bureau. If you are concerned, you may always dispute transaction line items that are incorrect or ask to add items that may not be present. These actions, over time, will bring credit scores closer together.

Is Credit Karma a legitimate free service or a scam?
Are you really going to listen to someone who can't spell listen? It is not a scam, it is a legit site. I have been a member of Credit Karma for 3 years now and my identity has not been compromised. The reason it is free is because it is not a FICO score (the one that really matters) it is a score from TransUnion who is a reputable credit report agency. It is very close to the FICO score as it was only 7 points away from my FICO score. And to add, the score is not a real score like FICO. It is a "guessed score" based on your real credit report.

How often does the credit bureau update beacon scores and by how many points?
Credit bureaus don't update your credit scores. They update your credit reports. It is a third party company (FICO, Beacon) who processes the information on your credit reports and produces your credit scores. I have continuous real-time access to my Equifax score, and it updated once at the end of February, and then increased by a point in Mid-March. So I'm going to say twice a month based on my experience with accessing my Equifax Fico Score. I can't be certain about the other two bureaus. Basic credit information is reported and updated (usually once a month, sometimes less frequently) by the creditors. Your credit score is a calculation based on that data. The calculation is only performed when a score is requested. So, your score would be updated only upon request.
When looking at your credit report newer history has more impact on your overall rating than older history?
There is no "one" credit score, and the actual componets which go into a credit score are known only by the company who created the scoring model to begin with. Only Fair Issac (FICO), with that beinging said if you take the exact same application and run it through all three credit bureaus, you many end up with three different credit scores.
Is FICO score meant only for people who are using SSN not ITIN?
FICO scores are used for people with both social security numbers and individual taxpayer identification numbers. Credit is rated by the number and type of account.
Is a 658 credit score ranked as fair or good?
Before answering this question, you need to apply the proper credit score range, which for Fico is 300-850 and for VantageScore, is 501-990. We'll assume you're referring to Fico, as it's the most commonly used credit score out there. A 658 credit score would be defined as below-average credit, or perhaps fair. It's certainly not good, as credit scores upwards of 660 are only average. If your credit score is in this range, you probably have a late payment or two, as well as high balances. The best way to improve your credit score is to pay off high balances, make on-time payments, and apply for new credit sparingly.
