Thanks,

@Jay Helms , I can help you with credit scores. ANYONE, any website, any individual, can create an algorithm to spit out a score. And guess what? They can advertise all day that they offer credit scores, because they do.
HOWEVER, most of these sites do NOT offer FICO scores. Here is one of many forum posts about FAKO scores. The reports are correct, the scores are proprietary made up math problems. You, your friend & I can offer scores tomorrow if one us could write a program to analyze credit.
I don't know what SmartMove offers, but I know Transunion has their own FAKO scores. Always read the small print. More importantly, know how to do your own credit evaluation by looking at a report.
Hope this helps.
