Credit Score Competition Would Help Consumers and Reduce Risk

credit By all accounts, the national housing market in the US stabilized with a recent report showing year-over-year growth at 6.8 percent for October 2015.

This model is based on data from 1995 to 2000 and unnecessarily excludes millions of qualified borrowers.
