Equifax Experts, you wrote
I usually get questions about differences in credit scores when a consumer is checking his or her credit report to make a big purchase—like a car—or to apply for a mortgage.
There are different credit score models available to lenders. Some use industry-weighted scores, and others use blended scores from all three CRAs. The lender determines which score model it prefers.

What is the name of a person or organization who provides “blended scores from all three CRAs”? What are the names of those scores (in your expert opinion)?
What are your names?
