The scoring model that calculates consumer credit scores has recently had some modifications, which may impact both the interest rates and the ability of borrowers to qualify for buying a home, refinancing a mortgage. The differences include the following issues:
1. Credit Balance to Limit Ratio
The ratio of credit balance in relation to the credit available appears to have more influence on the scoring formula. Having a higher credit limit available and a lower balance could result in a better credit score. This change could especially affect borrowers if credit card issuers reduce the maximum credit limits available to credit card holders. As a general rule of thumb, a ratio of 30% or less may be beneficial to credit scores
2. Number and Type of Accounts
In previous credit formulas, having too many open accounts was viewed as a negative factor. Now, having more open and active accounts could lend a positive effect to credit scores under the new system, as long as the accounts are not new or delinquent. One potential down side of this change is that credit card issuers may close seldom used accounts, which could affect the ratio of open accounts in good standing.
