Zillow Background / Credit Score - DO NOT USE / WARNING!!!

Zillow Credit Scores are not only wrong, they are totally random!! When you hit print on a Zillow Application Credit Score, you get a different result every single time. WTH!!  Can someone explain this?

I tested this several times, even went to a differnt computer. The 3 examples below were printed within minutes. Its basically pick your own score. If you did not like the first one, just print another one. I did some research and looks like I am not the first one to discover this?

There is no way Zillow is not aware of this!!

We have literally an eviction at the moment with someone, who per Zillow had excellent credit. We based the decision on the score shown on the screen and when the troubles started we brushed it off as a misunderstanding, because the person had excellent credit. Until we discovered the score is different every time you print!

Can someone verify what we are experiencing here?

525-788 is about the same margin of error as a "Zestimate".
