How can you tell people you know what the formula is for Fico…?


Question by nebula7693: How can you tell people you know what the formula is for Fico…?
when that information is proprietary and a very tightly guarded secret. I have seen many people say things like this:* 35%, punctuality of payment in the past* 30%, the amount of debt, expressed as the ratio of current revolving debt (credit card balances, etc.) to numbing available revolving credit (credit limits)* 15%, length of credit history* 10%, types of credit used (installment, revolve, consumer finance)* 10%, recent search for credit and/or amount of credit obtained recently but I want proof that you know what you are talking about. Where tin I go to find the formula that you are reporting to populate? I know that Fair Isaac didn’t give it to you, because they wear’t tell anybody. So where did you get it from?
