It's important to note that the credit scores provided by ID Watchdog are based on the VantageScore® 3.0 model. For three-bureau VantageScore credit scores, data from Equifax®, Experian®, and TransUnion® are used respectively. If you have a one-bureau VantageScore, only Equifax data will be used. It's also worth mentioning that third parties may use different types of credit scores to assess your creditworthiness.

If you're wondering who can access your Equifax credit report if it's locked, there are a few exceptions. These include companies that provide you with a copy of your credit report or credit score upon your request, government agencies and courts in certain circumstances, companies using the information for insurance or employment purposes, and companies that have a current account or relationship with you.
