myFICO® Forums User Guidelines

 

 

Our Mission

 

Welcome!  We’re glad you joined us.

 

myFICO® provides the myFICO Forums as an educational and entertaining platform for U.S. consumers to share their credit knowledge and credit-related personal experiences with other members of this online consumer community.  It is our belief that through credit education and taking greater individual control of personal finances, consumers can achieve financial goals that will enrich their lives.

 

We think the myFICO Forums is one of the best resources for credit and personal finance information out there.  And what’s makes it great is participation from users like you.  To ensure that the myFICO Forums remains useful and enjoyable for all online community members, upon registering you will be expected to comply with the following the myFICO Forums User Guidelines, as well as the myFICO Forums Terms of Service, myFICO Privacy Policy and myFICO Terms of Use.

 

Getting Started

 

New myFICO Forums participants with questions are encouraged to read our FAQs. Or, simply post a message with your question and a community member or Moderator will be glad to help.

 

Registration

 

While no registration is required to view the forums, participants wishing to post a message must register by creating an account with myFICO.com.   

 

Privacy

 

The personal information provided by myFICO Forums participants as part of this registration process is governed by our myFICO Forums Terms of Service, myFICO Privacy Policy and myFICO Terms of Use.  This personal information is not shared with third parties unrelated to myFICO for use for their own marketing purposes without the participant’s consent. 

Ideas, opinions, and viewpoints of participants

 

The ideas, opinions, and viewpoints expressed in myFICO Forums belong solely to its participants.  Fair Isaac Corporation does not necessarily agree or disagree with, or in any way endorse comments posted to these forums; nor is myFICO responsible for the accuracy of the content of the forums or liable for any damages resulting from following recommendations posted by community members on myFICO Forums.

 

Inappropriate material

 

In the spirit of a healthy and helpful community, profanity, spam, personal attacks, flaming, and other inappropriate postings are not tolerated.  Such material may be edited or removed, and egregious or repeat offenders will be banned from future participation in myFICO Forums.

Please see Terms of Service for full listing of inappropriate postings. 

 

Credit Repair

 

myFICO Forums is intended to provide helpful and useful tips for managing credit and understanding FICO scoring.  This is not the place to exchange ‘credit repair’ advice that encourages consumers to provide untrue or misleading information to a credit bureau or lender for the purpose of raising FICO scores or otherwise improving credit ratings, credit histories or credit records. Such material may be edited or removed, and egregious or repeat offenders will be banned from future participation in myFICO Forums.

 

Moderators

 

To more effectively manage myFICO Forums, myFICO may designate employees or third parties to act as moderators and administrators for myFICO Forums (“Moderators”). This monitoring is carried out only by individuals designated as Moderators by myFICO and identified in the community by the “Moderator” title.  myFICO Moderators may monitor postings to myFICO Forums for the purpose of maintaining an orderly arrangement of the information being shared and ensuring that community members adhere to the myFICO Forums User Guidelines.  Moderators can also answer questions related to the myFICO Forums, myFICO Forums Terms of Service, or other matters to help users have a successful and productive experience in the myFICO Forums.
