Prosper loan

I just got a Prosper loan for $8.500 at 10,9%. How do they report. I have herd that they report in a negative way. Is that true?

Re: Prosper loan

For scoring purposes it is considered a Finance Company

Re: Prosper loan

What is a Finance Company in Prosper terms? Will it be bad on my reports?

Re: Prosper loan

A few of the bureaus show a finance company account as a negative.

 

However, if you had $8,500 of credit card debt with a credit line of $10,000 and obtained a personal loan to payoff the credit card, your score would likely really get a good increase. The FICO models score debt differently, even though you still owe $8,500, your credit card utilization is very low now. Installment debt is not scored so heavily.

 

Hopefully that makes sense.

Do you mean it reports as an installment loan? Sorry, just confused by "finance company" term

Some FICO versions don't like them.

Re: Prosper loan

Agreed, at least one bureau will count a finance company loan in the list of negative items on a report.

But, it has only helped my score.

Transunion doessn't like them. When I had a Prosper loan I'd always see "too many consumer loans" in the factors holding down my score on FICOs based on TU (only had the 1 loan). But I don't recall any significant bounce when I paid it off.
