FICO08

[Anonymous]

This topic is generating a lot of interest. A LOT.

Yet no one knows very much about it except that it will effect AU's the most.

But I've heard elswhere that everyone's FICO scores will be effected.

I would like to suggest, that when the time comes, a sticky thread be started at the top of the page, explaining what exactly FICO08, and how it will effect all of us.

Just a thought.

Good idea, Sylviatob!  I will gather up that information and provide some detail on what we can expect with this new version of the FICO formula.  Stay tuned....

Thanks!

Great suggestion, Sylvia! And I'd like to add to the suggestion: please don't wait until it finally gets implemented, whenever that's going to happen. If it is going to change the way that credit behaviors are rewarded, and dare I say, punished, it would be useful to have a general heads-up.

Thanks you all.

Always helps to know in advance, when something is about to hit me. As opposed to looking up and seeing the freight train inches from my face. LOL.

I should have some FICO 08 info for you all around late November - early December, which will be at least a few months ahead of when anyone will begin to be affected by this new version of the FICO score.

Any updates or press releases?

I think they've realized that cr*pping all over a lot of AU's, many of them women in their 50's and 60's, might not be the smartest thing to do in an election year.

Might be time for Plan B...

What about us stay at home all day with our children MR. Moms?

OK, make that "many of them women in their 50's and 60's and men in their 30's staying at home all day with their children!" I don't know that conservative political candidates worry so much about the Mr. Mom backlash, assuming that they know that these even exist. And I'll bet that Mr. Moms are joint users rather than AU's in most cases.

You are SO not a stay-at-home dad. You're in Guam half the time!

Or do you get to work from home, lucky you? I did that for 2 years until some pinhead V.P. pulled us all back in.
