| I would think so; does the credit company you pulled your report through haved a "What if" simulator? CBC Innovis has a program where you can test certain payoff scenarios and see what would happen to the score. It is pretty accurate. |

It depends...
Is the consumer's score being harmed by high installment ratios? If so, it will specifically be indicated in the FICO factors listed below the score (remember they are listed in order of what is having the most negative impact.)
It's rare to see installment ratios as a top factor, if ratios are a concern, it's almost always revolving accounts causing the damage.
btw - with CT, the CreditXpert Credit Analyzer and What if Simulator are only $5/$6 respectfully. With Credit Assure, every report automatically includes the score projection so you know if there is an opportunity to improve the consumers score, and if so - by how much without incurring a CreditXpert fee.

Sorry to hijack the thread, but Tom can we pull credit through you as well? What is your cost for single and joint tri-merge? |

"i was trying to avoid paying the 10bucks"
This will sound harsh but if you are debating this much over spending $10 to see if this would increase your clients credit score I think the client needs to move on... |

If your business model does not permit $10 given the ROI I would have to ask: "You don't know very much about running a business do you"

Absolutely - If all you want is cheap credit data, there are many cheaper sources. Our role is to deliver our clients a competitive advantage. For instance - Ask Equifax to complete a no-document rescore in one day and do so without forcing you to pull a new tri merge. |

Did you know that the 10.00 is for a what if simulator, and then the rapid rescore is 30 plus cost of the new report. I completed 2 rescores in June for July closings and both worked. Isn't the algorithm used to calculate the fico score top secret. So why not go to BO for experiences!
THE QUESTION IS SIMPLE DOES AN INSTALLMENT LOAN HAVE THE SAME AFFECT AFTER RESCORE AS A REVOLVING WHEN REDUCING THE BALANCE? |

| No, installment will not give you the same as paying revolving down. |

Finally, someone answered the question. I am with you Tom, I thought it was a good question to ask instead of just paying the $10. to find out it doesn't work.
