IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: Any credit scores, score changes or available plus points shown or inferred are estimates only. Individual results may vary, and results are not guaranteed.
1Average point changes are based on historical data. Individual results may vary and are not guaranteed.
2Calculation Methodology: Our savings estimates are derived from historical internal data, analyzing subscribers' credit reports for increased scores in two categories: new auto and new mortgage financings. Assumptions include precise credit score reporting, consistent correlations between score ranges and financing rates, uniform loan terms (except interest rates), steady interest rates over the loan term, and consistent borrowing behaviors. Note that our estimates rely on accurate credit reporting, average loan data, and current interest rates, but may not account for individual interest rate variations or significant shifts in borrowing and repayment habits. We assumed a conversion from VantageScore® v3.0 to FICO® v8.0, verified by an official FICO® v8.0 calculator. Our calculation is subject to change without notice.
3ScoreBuilder is an individual communications tool using our patented Action button where all requests taken by an individual are sent direct-to-creditor customer service.
ScoreBoost is a payment and spending simulation based on credit utilization from TransUnion®, Experian® and Equifax®.
