You can get all 3 reports and Fico 8 for $1 https://www.creditchecktotal.com
I'm currently on trial for LifeLock and already got my score, but it's a one time thing, and I see that with Credit Karma it's constantly updated. (Maybe I'm wrong?)
So was wondering if I can rely on that at all.

Does anyone know what TU scoring model goes from 300 - 893? I just bought a new car and they used a model I'd never seen before. Is it a Vantage score?

Does Credit Karma also only update the account and inquiry information every 7 days, or the 7 days is just for the "score." Disputed AUs with TU and when I view my real TU report online, the AUs seem to be gone, but still showing on Credit Karma.

I believe updates everything once every 7 days, not just the score.
