“More than ever, consumers are concerned about their credit and financial health. FICO’s Score A Better Future event is a valuable educational opportunity that not only provides information about the credit landscape, but empowers people to take more control over their financial future. I looking forward to participating in this virtual event with FICO and all the great non-profit partners who are dedicated to helping consumers in the community,” said Congresswoman Dean. <\/b><\/p>\n

FICO’s “Score A Better Future” program focuses on helping consumers improve their understanding of their credit and overall financial health. Consumers will learn from credit experts what the key ingredients are that make up the FICO\u00ae<\/sup> Score, and the myths and facts about FICO Scores, which are used in more than 90 percent of lending decisions (Mercator Advisory Group Analyst Report 2018).<\/p>\n

FICO has partnered with Operation HOPE to provide attendees with the opportunity to make appointments for free one-on-one credit coaching from non-profit financial well-being coaches to help attendees develop a plan to address their financial goals in the new year.<\/p>\n
