Is credit reporting unfair to minorities?
According to MyFICO.com scoring considers only credit - related information. Factors such as race, gender, nationality and marital status are not included. The Equal Credit Opportunity Act prohibits lenders from considering this type of information when issuing credit.

Will a poor credit score ever go away?
Will a poor credit score ever go away?
Your credit score will change gradually as a result of how you handle your credit. A score is just a snap shot and will change gradually with time and as you open and close accounts. Bankruptcies, collections, charge offs and tax liens do eventually fall off in 8-15 years of absolutely no contact with you. If there is contact or the debt is sold the process can start over based on the new date of last activity.
