Millions of Americans are likely to see their credit scores fall with updates to the popular FICO credit scoring criteria.
People who fall behind on loan payments, run up debt, or take out personal loans to consolidate debt will probably be the hardest hit. But the company that created FICO scores, Fair Isaac Corporation, says most consumers will see only modest changes.
