This answer is from Who knows the "Secret Formula" used to compute your FICO score?

Paul is kind, but sadly, the FICO score forumulae are closely guarded secrets. In fact, Fair Issac's position is that they are "trade secrets", and the regulators and court system have not disputed this position. As long as these officials support this position, we won't have detailed information on the secret formula any particular scorer uses.
