My #1 suggestion, far and away, regarding credit scores - the credit score that a consumer sees when they go through the bureaus to get their "consumer score" should always match the credit score that I see as a mortgage lender when I pull their credit.  It is so difficult to explain to consumers why they see a 631 on Equifax's site when they pull it, but I see 602 when I pull it.  I know a lot of them track their scores on creditkarma and the like, and it would be much more difficult to control the scores they get from such a site.  So perhaps the three bureaus could provide a free credit score along with a consumer's  free annual credit report available through annualcreditreport.com?
