Where it stands
Consumers may soon see changes in how their credit scores are calculated and used. The FHFA's push for VantageScore threatens the traditional credit bureau model, which has long been dominated by FICO.
The FHFA's move is part of a broader effort to increase competition and innovation in the credit scoring industry. Barron's attributes the stock's plunge to the FHFA's endorsement of VantageScore.
