Fair Isaac Corporation – the company who determines your credit score and sells it to banks – recently released a new credit scoring model called FICO® 08. Many American consumers are wondering how the changes will affect them, how soon those changes will take place, and how to raise their new credit scores and repair credit. BoostMyScore.NET has been working diligently to answer the credit repair and credit score questions not being revealed by the score's makers to help you improve credit opportunities that you receive.
Firstly, while this new scoring model was released a few months ago, it won't likely affect any of us for several years; it will take time for it to permeate the entire financial industry in America. Every bank, car dealership, credit card issuer, and mortgage company will be on the hook for a costly "upgrade", should they choose to use FICO® 08. William Airy, Founder and CEO of BoostMyScore.NET, states, "Simply because Microsoft® just released Windows 7 doesn't mean that everyone in America is going to buy and install it tomorrow morning." Airy continues, "In fact, a large majority of banks and lending institutions are still using the FICO Classic® model, which is nearly a decade old."
However, once FICO® 08 is in effect, massive credit score declines are predicted nationwide. While leniency will be practiced on small items, like a missed payment, most people will see a reduction in their score as a result of the tighter restrictions against those of us who owe too much money on our credit cards, thus perpetuating the need to fix credit and improve credit scores through credit repair companies.
So, how do you fix credit and improve credit scores now and in the future? Is credit repair still a viable option? The answer is simpler than you may think, far faster than traditional credit repair, and it is far easier than being a good credit steward and merely paying your bills on time. While that is certainly the best method to practice, it may not be enough for you to achieve the loan you need, and they are most certainly not efficient ways to permanently fix credit.
One of the original intentions behind the new credit score model was an attempt to eliminate an effective and legal credit repair boosting strategy called "piggybacking".
Piggybacking is when one person with good credit rents out an Authorized User spot on their credit card to another person needing to fix credit, for a small fee. Once the renter is added as an AU, the account history – payments, limit, and balance – for the cardholder's account appears in the renter's credit file within a few weeks, thereby immediately affecting the renter's credit score and providing a successful solution for all of us to improve credit.
Fair Isaac Corporation permanently approved the piggybacking benefit in the FICO 08 model in July 2008 during a Congressional Subcommittee summit on Credit Education. The confirmation that the piggybacking credit improvement benefit would remain followed legal concerns presented by BoostMyScore.NET to the Federal Reserve and the Federal Trade Commission earlier that year.
In the end, pay your bills on time, every time. And if you need a quick way to improve credit, piggybacking looks like a good option.
