It was developed in 2008 and not released until 2009. I have no idea which lender you applied with, but I can assure you that just because your lender chose to pull an older version of FICO that does not mean that *most* lenders do. Your lender did, and that sucks. My recommendation to you is simply to find a different lender. Best of luck to you.Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06679853829876345700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2743584805397481900.post-55676246772923479792011-05-09T23:42:16.289-04:002011-05-09T23:42:16.289-04:00This is highly misleading.

I had a collection for $97 and it dropped my score from 700ish to 637.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
