New Credit Scoring System
A new credit scoring system called "VantageScore" has been designed to make it easier for financial institutions to assess loan applications and also give consumers an easier way of measuring their credit worthiness.
The three credit agencies each have been using their own formulas to generate their own credit scores, so lenders would have to reconcile three different scores when dealing with a consumer's application for credit.
Now, using this new system Cheap Air Max Plus Shoes , only one formula is used to create the scores for all three credit bureaus, so the scores will be virtually the same. This will provide a highly consistent score that is easy to understand. The scores will range from 501 to 990. The high end is slightly higher than scores currently in use. The scores will be grouped in a way similar to academic grades. For example:
A -- 901-990 B -- 801-900 C -- 701-800 D -- 601-700 F -- 501-600
The new score is expected to reduce the fluctuation in a consumer's scores by an estimate of 30 percent compared with the old method.
