that's it i'm canceling my account with them. Their scores are way off, they just use you as a way to sell more credit cards, and now they are giving out my info. They are worse than useless now.
There are dozens of models that various companies use. When applying for a mortgage, there are different models used when applying for a car or an apartment. Credit Karma gets their scores from the credit bureaus with some particular model, which probably isn't the same one when you go try to get a car. It's not _wrong_ it's just different.
For a slightly more useful credit score (more useful, not more accurate - see sibling comment), you'll want to get a version of your FICO score instead of a version of your VantageScore. You can get one for free here: https://www.freecreditscore.com/ - it's run by Experian, I haven't read the private policy but no payment information is required.
Wow you are indeed correct, according to their privacy policy:

It may take a little more time for our automated backup systems to fully process the anonymized account, though.

Is this true? Why? Where can I go to get a more accurate credit rating?
