    <description>&lt;P&gt;WHAT?!?!?!&amp;nbsp; myFICO was supposed to be paying all my bills this whole time?!?!?!?!&amp;nbsp; how dare them let me be responsible (or irresponsible)&amp;nbsp;for my credit and my spending!!!!!﻿&lt;/P&gt;&lt;HR /&gt;&lt;P&gt;Honestly..and as politely as possible...the OP reminds me of my little brother.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;He wants to get his paycheck...he just doesnt see why he has to WORK to get it.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I wish I were exaggerating, but Im not. His 'entitlement' attitude is nauseating.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;FICO helps CREATE the crisis....the latter offers relief......both offer the dream of a better situation you will never see as long as you are in their grasp.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;What really happens...2 wonderful profit centers for the CEO's in charge of the whole scam&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Keep an eye out Wikileaks and others are "following the money" and will show you the ties very soon!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Think about it...why would you trust a PRIVATE CORPORATION that fights so hard to keep their workings (and their board) a secret.....&lt;/P&gt;</description>

The resulting damage to your credit for using these services WILL almost always&amp;nbsp;lower your FICO. If FICO was in bed with DMPs and settlement companies, why would FICO lower your score for using them? ETA...the damage comes because the creditors will mark you late even if you pay on time via a reduced amount in a DMP. Per settlements, if you pay less, you will get socked anyway because the creditor will mark an equivalent as a charge-off.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;But thats the idea, to keep your score low...keep you qualified for the MEGA intrest rates....The few that get the good rates is the HOOK and the BAIT...the other 95% are the suckers getting hauled to the boat to end up fried on the bottom line of the P&amp;amp;L&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The Casinos alway PR the few winners to keep the suckers running through the doors also....&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Why don't you list us your board of directors..AND tell us the OTHER boards they sit on, then perhaps we will believe......&lt;/P&gt;</description>

I'm fine on the interest rate bit per the banks, they make more money, but why would FICO want your score to be low? Are you implying that the banks pay them a percentage of the interest rate?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;LMAO...why would they have to pay you a fee....the whole mess including the Federal Reserve is an intergrated Oligopoly.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Your little part of the game is to provide a C curve of bad numbers to justify fleecing the sheep...of course at the same time you have to try and convince the sheep they are not just that.....or convince those who know they are....... its their fault they are.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Like I said ...List your board member shere.....and the other boards they sit on..&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;We know you will not do that...may make the sheep nervous&lt;img id="smileywink" class="emoticon emoticon-smileywink" src="https://ficoforums.myfico.com/i/smilies/16x16_smiley-wink.gif" alt="Smiley Wink" title="Smiley Wink" /&gt;......and the wolves very angry....&lt;img id="smileysurprised" class="emoticon emoticon-smileysurprised" src="https://ficoforums.myfico.com/i/smilies/16x16_smiley-surprised.gif" alt="Smiley Surprised" title="Smiley Surprised" /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;If you have a corporation, you have to establish a board. Why wouldn't you want to include your clients or vendors in that membership?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Who is paying a fee to whom?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;You still&amp;nbsp;haven't answered the question....how is FICO profiting off of keeping scores down? Where in their P&amp;amp;L does it say they get an income due to keeping scores down?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Clients on your board...20 years ago THAT would have got the SEC's attention right there.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Why do you keep running on about some fee?!?!...this whole thread is about the collusion between FICO, Banks the Federal Reserve and such....All of you share board members. ALL of you have a hand in manipulating Retail credit to the point its in the area of just plain consumer fraud.....25 years ago the connections between you would have meant a jail sentence for the slime running the show&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Deregulation that created the situation where all of you can be too friendly must be stopped and reversed.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Im willing to bet most of the people on here who are not shills (if there are any) don't even realize the Federal Reserve is a private corporation...AND NOT PART OF THE GOVERNMENT.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Don't try to play the game with me FICO is just a little, stand alone business providing credit info for a fee or subscription...BECAUSE ITS NOT!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;P&gt;﻿&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;The fine tunings of FICO scoring can be somewhat mysterious, but stepping back and looking at the big picture, it's not that difficult to figure out.&amp;nbsp; Pay your bills on time and don't max out your credit cards.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Crazy how the scoring system seems to assign low scores to people that don't follow those&amp;nbsp;common sense guidelines.&amp;nbsp; Definitely something sinister going on here.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Because of his continued personal attacks on other members and his refusal to stop such attacks it's been decided by the admins and mods to ban this member (&lt;STRONG&gt;DoneWithUnfairIsaac&lt;/STRONG&gt;).&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;From a BK years ago to:&lt;BR /&gt;EX - 3/11 pulled by lender- 835, EQ - 2/11-816, TU - 2/11-782&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;"Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they've made a difference.
