Hi jaggers,

Welcome to the forum.

FICO scores are given by the credit bureau. But mortgage enhanced score may be given by certain lenders after certain numerical calculations to know whether you van get approve for certain loan programs. The lender who have told you about the mortgage enhanced score may be the better person to tell you about mortgage enhanced score.

So please ask him and if you can please let us know about it.

The scores pulled from the 3 repositories via a RMCR (Residential Mortgage Credit Report) have certain triggers tailored to the Mortgage industry that cause there to be a variation in scores. The same applies to the Automotive industry. This could be considered a Mortgage Enhanced Score.

or

Some lenders have their own internal scoring system in addition to the credit report. It can take more than just the scores on your credit report into account. Items such as job title, length at residence, length at employer, assets, payment shock, and other factors not used for calculating FICO.

Many of the Finance Companies who do Mortgages or Personal Loans use a decisioning system like this in addition to human underwriting.
