This is what my long time local banker told me, and has for the most part been my experience, though about 10 months ago they moved from the lowest, to the middle of my 3 scores @ 797.

Thanks Dave. I had it backwards on the relationship of the two entities...
I thought someone should say something about the score variance bit.
Is it correct that you can often take a 1/4% or so (depending on loan size) off your lowest advertised rate for exceptional scores?
Great, great thread.
It should be made sticky for a while, as a lot of people could benefit from some or all of this info..

Dave,
Nice informative post.
I heard on a radio show that the information on credit reports sent to individuals to review their credit history is not the same as the one sent to lenders. Is that true? The issue was that the consumer could correct all the credit errors a they see on their report, but the lender would still see other errors.
(Not boat related) How do these matress retailers and big screen TV dealers in LA, offer no money down, and no payments until 2007 without losing their shirts? Are these only given to a very small percentage of customers?
Thanks,
Michael

Consumers get "Consumer Friendly" reports that are easy to understand. If you received a commercial report you would have a very hard time understanding it and reading it. Both contain the same info.
As for NO MONEY DOWN, NO PAYMENTS UNTIL 2007 etc..... it is all built into the price of whatever you are buying. No money down (jack the price up to cover the interest cost for the first 12 or whatever months - the retailer gets paid in full by the finance company and the consumer gets NO MONEY DOWN or delayed payments)
Fountain came out with ZERO % fiancing for 12 months or reduced interest for 12-24-36 months recently. They took a 14% PRICE INCREASE TO COVER THE COST OF THE PROGRAM.
