On the final day of Vision 2012, we talk with Michele Raneri, vice president, analytics, to analyze one of the industry’s most pressing issues: financial stress of the American consumer. We also get some key takeaways from Vision 2012 from Kerry Williams, Experian group president.

This Experian TV episode kicks off with a review of some of the key priorities of the CFPB and looks at some of the programs it is planning to develop. We also sit down with Keir Breitenfeld, senior director, fraud and identity solutions, to discuss fraud detection, and we go one-on-one with Amy Hysell from Arizona Federal Credit Union to look at how a troubled portfolio can be turned around using Experian tools.

We’ve all seen news clip of a tornado that twisted down a street, destroyed one house, missed the next two then demolished another block or two of people’s lives. Credit card fraud is equally indiscriminate.

As more Americans emerge from the economic depths of the recession, they’re reminded by one significant fact: not all consumers reduced their debt burdens during 2011. Super-prime VantageScore® consumers — those with scores of 901 to 990 — actually increased debt by $100 billion from Q4 of 2010, notably in new mortgage, bankcard and auto debt.

To gear up for the second full day of Vision 2012, we chat with Kerry Williams, Experian group president, to discuss how clients can achieve growth using three key strategies. Check out the video to see his recommendations.

The first day of Vision 2012 covered numerous topics and offered attendees many new industry insights. In this episode of Experian TV, we catch up with Steve Wagner, president, consumer information services, to discuss universe expansion and strategies to find new consumers, and Tony Hadley, senior vice president, government affairs, to review consumer financial literacy and the CFPB. We also sit down with Andy Sheehan, senior vice president of marketing, to discuss this year’s Vision theme: growth.

The lifespan of a fraudster is short, but prolific. It typically takes about seven days to wreak millions of dollars of damage across a wide network of unsuspecting customers. The fraudsters begin by sending tens of thousands of emails to unsuspecting folks—your customers. They politely ask them to log-in to their bank account to confirm their password.

Unemployment remains high nationally, though consumer spending is steadily increasing. Housing remains a stumbling block for the economy, while loan delinquencies show signs of improvement for most lines of business. What does this all mean?

Mortgage industry trends have already been a huge topic of discussion at Vision 2012. Although we’re seeing signs of recovery in the auto and bankcard lending sectors, when it comes to mortgage we’re clearly not out of the woods yet.
