More on your credit score . . .

The 3 biggest US credit-reporting firms (Equifax, Experian, & TransUnion) have announced that they have partnered up to standardize the method of calculating credit scores.  The result of this will be no matter who you pull your credit score from, all 3 places will give you the same response, whereas in the past, you could have received up to 3 different scores.

It was also reported that this new scoring system will make it easier for consumers with limited credit histories to obtain financing.
