Sun 03:36:24  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ Yes, that's one reason why they change credit scoring models. Consumer behavior changes over time. When you look at it based on an old model that was built for the 1990s or 2000s even, people may not behave that way with loan products anymore, so it becomes less predictive of credit risk.
Sun 03:37:05  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ Credit scores that were created in an era of plenty of disposable income, everyone could afford a house, and the place you worked at treated you like family don't account for risk in the modern world.
Sun 03:37:59  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ "Enhanced Predictive Power: VantageScore 5.0 provides a significant lift in originations of up to 9% for consumers with thin files. This offers lenders a reliable way to expand their pool of creditworthy applicants without incurring additional risk."
Sun 03:38:48  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ Yes, they can generate VantageScores with less data and less history, but banks are reluctant to use those. It takes 6 months to generate a FICO score, and you can have a VantageScore in as little as a month, or having barely used anything even remotely like a credit card.
Sun 03:38:59  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ So banks don't want those people even if you can give them a numerical score.
