Change In Credit Scoring Rules
Late in January of 2009, the Fair Isaacs Company, from which is
derived the FICO Score will be changing its scoring rules to
help improve consumers credit scores. So, exactly how will these changes
help? Consumers with late payments on debts of less than 100 dollars
will be ignored. Also, less negative weight will be put on car repossessions
and other charge offs. All active accounts however will have to be in good
standing. Finally, and perhaps not so good news, authorized user accounts
will now be ignored in the scoring. What are authorized user accounts?
Simply this. When anyone with a credit card in good standing requests
that someone be added to the card as an authorized user, which means they are
not responsible for the debt, the authorized users score will not be raised.
In the past parents have added their children as authorized users
to help them attain a good credit score. This practice will no longer
have any effect on the childs credit score. Additionally, any open accounts
not in use could change a persons credit score negatively, as banks are shutting
down accounts which are not in use.
Consistent with all my articles, I advise everyone, to be more
concerned about clearing up any debt issues you may have, and worry less about
being dependant on the banks money. If you need debt help please visit:
