HotRod, Its their job to twist your words. They are FICO employees or work for a PR firm that FICO uses. Ebay (admittedly) played the same game for the longest time. They had under contract professional companies that Moderate and use "Cheerleader" posters....Its very common on corporate sponsored message boards. Its best to ignore them as everything you post they will hack up what you post into something different. Think about it, Why would an average person become a "super poster" on a corporate run message board unless they had some vested or monetary reason......or absolutely no life what-so-ever....LMAO


 

Be sure to change the tinfoil in your hat once a week, to keep it fresh so it will be most effective. And yes, that black helicopter is watching you, only you.

 

Actually, if you'd bother to read a few threads instead of just posting rants, you'd notice that most of the regulars defend Fico when appropriate and, in turn, rip Fico a new one when appropriate.

Re: Time for the Government to put an end to FICO

llecs and HTSU, I found your posts hilariously funny, tounge-in-cheek, rebuttals of the obvious feces that is being thrown about.

Yes, I admit, I am also a sham poster.  But I am paid, not by Fair Isaac, but by the estate of Ronald Reagan. to support any excess of capitalism.

 

The intellectual discourse exchanged through the threads of this post have caused me to purchase a tin-hat.  I am now illuminated!

I think we have all been doing a masterful job of misleading our friiends here on this site by offering passive resistence and misinformation as  to the Evil God of credit scoring!

Unfortunately, my pay checks for this evil mastery never appear in my bank statements.

So I have, also, discarded my tin hat. Being now exposed, the world will crumble.

Well you guys do your job of Obfuscation very well. Which is fine, its your job. However in the end financial reform has passed and the ball is rolling FICO is going to a target real so so you better get those good old fashioned smear campaigns geared up..Perhaps you need to get a "grassroots" thing going...Tea-party for FICO...

Anyhow its time for you to request the moderator lock this thread.

Actually, I am a research scientist developing new products, so my job is to provide clarity rather than confusion.

DownwithFairIasac, I will only add one further post to this frivolous thread..

Opinions are the thread of comedy,. particulary if absurd, as most of this thread has been.

Everyone has designated bodily orfiices.

Most learn which orifice is a tool for input. 

Some dont.

Why should the thread be locked now? Pages 3 and 4 are a lot more entertaining than pages 1 and 2. We're just starting to roll.

 

As for "Fico is going to (be) a target" - you provide 0 support for that statement, just as you provided 0 support for the thread subject title. As has been pointed out numerous times, Fico does risk research and creates scoring models. It's up to lenders to decide which scoring models to utilize or if they want to utilize scoring models at all. But scoring models and other techniques for streamlining the qualification process are here to stay. Lenders - especially in the non-mortgage fields - are not going to jump into a time machine and go back a few decades so they can do a painstaking manual review for every credit card application or every auto loan application. And we are not going to see a huge number of people only buying an auto or other big-ticket item after they've saved up enough cash to pay the total cost up front. And the "government" is not going to "target" someone because they create formulas.

 

Robert's observation about orifices is spot on ... Smiley Happy

Re: Time for the Government to put an end to FICO

Just a thought but perhaps the OP is the one being paid around here by one of the FAKO score providers to disrupt this forum.

 

Actualy the Tea Party movement would not support a government ban or any envolvement in FICO.

Re: Time for the Government to put an end to FICO

FICO has many faults, including: faulty algorithims that misread updates as new, Scorewatch never being current, Fair Issac's overwhelming desire to punish quickly, but not respond as quickly- or in the same degree in regard to point-loss- with positive info/updates, the secrecy in how certain types of credit weigh more heavily than others, the fact that any creditor is allowed to post, and have weighed in the score, negative credit entries that don't report payment history, and on and on...the last thing I want is a government takeover of MYFICO..we see how effective government intervention is working now. I would like to see a more consumer-friendly, common sense, approach to scoring...and have Fair Issac/MYFICO respond to consumer demand like a real business...
