What is VantageScore?
VantageScore is a new credit rating system, collectively created by Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. Launched as an alternative to the FICO score, it has many benefits compared to traditional rating systems. To get your credit report made using VantageScore, however, you need to pay a fee to credit companies, and that’s when you may need a specialist credit consultant to guide the way. In short, you may need to Build My Scores.

Why Consider VantageScore?
VantageScore, unlike traditional credit reporting methodologies, has a single scoring model that gives out consistent scores. Therefore, if there is any discrepancy in your credit report, getting your credit score calculated through the new system is a possible remedy. Before the introduction of VantageScore, FICO used to be the most trusted scoring method. In a short period of time, however, the new method has taken over in popularity. In 2014, an estimated 1 billion credit scores were calculated using VantageScore, with the patrons including 2000+ lenders and 6 out of the 10 largest banks in the US.
Benefits of VantageScore
VantageScore embraces smart points that efficiently eliminate redundancy and ensure that all aspects are considered before a credit report is generated. Following are some of the benefits of VantageScore that make it the preferred credit rating system.
Acknowledges Damages Caused Due to Natural Calamity
VantageScore is designed to ignore the negatives on a credit report that are caused due to natural calamities, which is a great relief to U.S. citizens, especially given the increasing instances of natural disasters in the country.
Easy to Understand Score
Compared to the FICO score, VantageScore is much easier to understand. Though the initial versions of VantageScore created some confusion on what qualifies as a “good” score, but with the latest version, the debate has been settled at 300-850.
Removal of Paid and Settled Collection
Unlike traditional methods, the VantageScore system ignores paid and settled collections. This results in a substantial increase in the score for clients who have a healthy credit profile, which is another factor in the favor of the new system.
Simpler Calculation with Fewer Criteria
FICO had a lot of criteria that needed to be fulfilled to calculate a credit score. VantageScore has changed a number of points and has made way for almost 30 million people who can now get a legal credit score to assess their credit situation.
