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.

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
