FICO Changes
I despise the FICO system. It's based on how well you manage debt, not how well you manage money. If you have no debt, the system punishes you instead of rewarding you for being financially responsible.

A consumer whose only major delinquency comes from an unpaid medical bill could see their credit score rise by 25 points due to the changes."
