Why so different? Do you have more accounts on your TU?


For some reason my tax lien just vanished from TU. But, that's what CK is reporting. Might just be a glitch with them.


that makes sense if the tax lien from public records vanished, +32 points sounds reasonable.

"VantageScore Solutions reports that the majority of financial institutions, including eight of the top ten credit card issuers, six of the top ten auto lenders and all of five of the top mortgage lenders, use VantageScore to evaluate borrower creditworthiness."

 

Obviously these lenders use FICO scores as well. How do they use VantageScore scores and FICO scores differently? Cat Frustrated

VantageScore is used in the securitization market to track portfolio risk.

 

VantageScore is being evaluated by CC issuers to compare performance with FICO but FICO has the large bulk of the actual CC decisioning.

 

Their PR stresses those that "use" VantaageScore but few of the "uses" are actually credit decisioning.
