Consumers are Getting Smarter About Credit Scores

August 5, 2018 by Guest Contributor

Consumer credit scores

A recent survey* released by the Consumer Federation of America and VantageScore Solutions, LLC, shows that potential borrowers are more likely to have obtained their credit score than nonborrowers.

  • 70% of those intending to take out a consumer or mortgage loan in the next year received their credit score in the past year, compared with 57% of those not planning to borrow.
  • Consumers who obtained at least one credit score in the past year were more likely to say their knowledge of scores is good or excellent compared with those who haven’t (68% versus 45%).

While progress is being made, there’s still a lot of room for improvement. By educating consumers, lenders can strengthen consumer relationships and reduce loss rates. It’s a win-win for consumers and financial institutions.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book.

Text legacy

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source.
