Lender survey shows concern over consumer understanding of credit scores and reason codes

Published: April 11, 2014 by Stacie Baker

In an effort to understand consumer needs better and help lenders educate their customers, VantageScore® Solutions surveyed more than 200 lenders nationwide on the topic of score reason codes. The results of the survey showed:

  • More than 75 percent of lenders expressed concern over the lack of consumer understanding of score disclosure notices
  • 33 percent said that if reason codes were written in clearer and easier-to-understand language, they would be easier to understand
  • Only 10 percent of lenders said their customers “understand reason codes well”

The results reinforce the need for lenders to use a risk score that is both highly predictive and consumer friendly.

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.
