Obama Connects to Small Businesses

Innovative Credit Consultants is inspired by President Obama’s State of the Union Address.

President Obama proposed, “30 billion dollars of the Bank recovery money to help small businesses get the credit they need to stay afloat.”

ICC Responds to the State of the Union Address

Innovative Credit Consultants is inspired by President Obama’s State of the Union Address.
President Obama said, “Let’s get it done!”

Innovative Credit Consultant likes this motto after all we are one of the few companies that do not charge for our time.

Reputable credit repair companies are charging up-front fees before they accomplish anything.  They also drag out the time it takes to repair your credit report because they will make more money monthly.  These so called top of the line credit repair companies take advantage of their clients.  Many people really do not understand the credit system, so big companies can make it seem intimidating and complex to get more money out of their clients. Innovative Credit Consultants gets it done and gets it done right.

We do not charge for our time because we respect yours.  Innovative Credit Consultants is productive and efficient and while we consider our service to be fast and easy we do not rush through our consultations.  We give you all the time you need and offer continued support throughout your credit repair process.

Let’s get it done together and boost your credit report.  Visit icreditinc.com today!

What is VantageScore?

The three major credit bureaus, Experian, TransUnion and Equifax are using a new credit report scoring system.  Each bureau follows the same formula to determine the new VantageScore.  But this does not mean your credit report would be the same from each bureau.  The information each bureau has about you may vary.  The purpose of the VantageScore is to help Lenders identify a borrowers credibility however some think this new system is consumer friendly.

The new VantageScore is sort of challenging FICO which uses a number system to determine your credit score. The three bureaus are treating this as a test period.

The new VantageScore uses numbers and letters to determine your final credit score. Your report would list a letter score and a number score.


The VantageScore System


901 - 990: A    
801 - 900: B
701 - 800: C
601 - 700: D
501 - 600: F

It is not yet clear if this new scoring system will have a positive or adverse effect on a lenders’ decision. There are many variations of credit scores because of the licensing cost to use FICO. This cost tends to be rather steep for lenders. Banks and other companies typically have a high volume request for scores which is why they are more willing to opt for a more cost effective solution. These other scores are typically referred to as non-Fico or even “FAKO” scores. However, the VantageScore system and is not a FAKO.

What is the difference between FICO and VantageScore?

 The FICO score ranges from 300 to 850 while the VantageScore ranges from 501 to 990. It is based on five variables, while the VantageScore is based on six variables.

The following chart compares VantageScore to FICO and shows the percentage of a variable and its role in the total credit score. Click the image below.





Innovative Credit Consultants will be following the new scoring system and will keep you updated on consumer progress.  Extra tip: Never assume a lender uses FICO. The VantageScore method could change your credit score by almost 50 points. Always ask your lender what scoring system they use
