FICO Changes Good News For Borrowers

By
Mortgage and Lending with Colorado Mortgage NMLS 218281

There are three major changes coming to FICO scores which could mean better terms for consumers applying for home loans.

The changes are:

  • Debts that go to collections agencies and get repaid won’t count against a consumer’s FICO score.

  • Medical debts will have a smaller effect on the score. If your only major bad mark comes from unpaid medical debts, FICO says it expects your credit score to go up by 25 points.

  • A technique to analyze people’s creditworthiness if they don’t have much of a credit history.

The newest version of FICO will be available in the fall.
