Well, I would not think that it would be a very enjoyable job, can you imagine going to work everyday, doing a job that you have to call people everyday and get on them about past debt. You would hear all types of stories, from people who do not genuinely feel they owe the debt or those who know they owe it and chose not to pay it. I think that dealing with people who owe debt would be a heart wretching and/or frustrating experience, just a job that I would not want to do. I guess someone has to do it, thank god it is not me.

I agree but I also think they get ruthless people in their offices too. Life is full of those people and when everything is going well it is easy to deal with them but when your down and out it sure doesn't help. I don't like dealing with most of these people. Hopefully everyone keeps good records becasuse I have heard of junk collectors trying to recollect on a paid debt.

We now have a late on our our mortgage. How will this effect our credit score and will our credit card company's raise our rate because of this?

Hi noname,

If a late payment is reported by the lender to the credit bureaus, then it will affect your credit score by about 50 points. If it is not reported, then you don't have to worry.

Thanks.

Hi peabrain,

If you want to take a loan, the lender will look not only at your credit score but your entire credit history. If you have a credit score in the 700's, it will be easier for you to get a loan. Apart from this, the lender will also look into your credit report. If your credit report has late payments, collections or unpaid liens, it will become difficult for you to get a loan. If there is no adverse information on your credit report, getting a loan will be easier for you.

Thanks,

Jerry

Do you see the Vantage scoring model replacing the FICO model any time soon?

The FICO score will prevail for some more time. I don't think the new Vantage Score model will replace the FICO score so easily. Moreover the lenders and the borrowers will get confused with the sudden introduction of the VantageScore.
