This complaint relates to a credit decision made by XXXX XXXX for a HELOC that I applied for on XXXX XXXX 2015. I was subsequently rejected as a result of a credit score pulled by XXXX XXXX 's mortgage company through Equifax. 

In the rejection documentation I received, I was informed that my credit score as per Equifax was XXXX, with a number of negative factors impacting my score. I subscribe to real time credit monitoring, and as of the day the inquiry was made on my credit, my Equifax score was reporting as XXXX. To confirm, I then purchased my Equifax score directly through the Equifax website, which shows XXXX as of XXXX XXXX, post XXXX XXXX 's inquiry. 

I reached out to XXXX XXXX to determine why there was this discrepancy in my credit score, which was directly responsible for my application being rejected. They were only able to tell me that they were using a report and score provided by Equifax on XXXX XXXX and that I should contact Equifax with my question. I went onto the Equifax website ; there is no way to dispute this type of discrepancy online. I am only able to dispute specific information on my credit report, which does not apply here. Additionally, I tried contacting them via phone ; there was also no means through which I could have this addressed via phone. 

My complaint summary is as follows:1 ) The Equifax report provided to XXXX XXXX on XXXX showed a credit score of XXXX. The Equifax score I purchased on XXXX showed a credit score of XXXX, much higher than the reported score to XXXX XXXX. I am complaining about the dramatic difference in scores, both of which came directly from Equifax, and led to the rejection of my HELOC application. 
2 ) I am also complaining about the difficulty in resolving this directly with Equifax, as they have made it nearly impossible to do so. 
3 ) I am complaining about the impossibility of knowing what my actual credit score is and being denied credit despite having good credit, according to Equifax themselves. How am I able to understand what my credit score is if Equifax themselves can not agree on what my credit score actually is? 

I have attached a copy of my credit score which I purchased from Equifax today ( File Name : Equifax FACT Rpt ) as well as the rejection letter I received from XXXX XXXX ( File Name : XXXX XXXX rejection ). You will note the dramatic differences in scores.
