they have many different scores.

the main consumer-facing score is what you are describing, which is never used by their customers.

for customers (banks,insurances, retail companies etc.) they have scores tailored to their industry (branchenscore), which also includes repaid loans etc.

the "basisscore" is pretty much useless, it's only a number given out to consumers.
