Identity hacks and no FICO credit cards are just two of the scams one can find in the internet today. This article aims to take a closer look at these popular credit card scams and will give advice on how to spot and avoid them.

The internet is a place where boundaries are broken all the time. It has been a breeding ground for illegal activities. Do you have any idea of how the power of the internet opened up the flood gates of scammers everywhere? In the internet, the problem is and always has been authenticity and validity. How can you be sure for example that the client or store or person you are talking to is trustworthy? Since there is not much capital involved in setting up websites, this provides a sweet opportunity for scammers to set up overnight sites that fold up in a short time to cover their tracks. If you have ever heard of no FICO credit cards, then you have probably heard about them in a website that offers them. Now, I am not saying that all of these are scams. These may actually be possible and there is a system to how an operation like this could work. What a legitimate no FICO credit cards company would do is to have their customers sign in under a well established shelf company. The fees and credit limits will depend upon the strength of these shelf companies themselves. However, the fact is that I am yet to hear or see a credible testimonial of anyone who has tried such a service. The FICO system has been relied on by creditors for a reason. They need it to calculate a cardholder’s risk, an act which is essential to a creditor’s survival. More often than not, these credit cards without FICO required are probably scams so it is best to simply stay away from them.

As for the other kind of scam, this has been in existence for a very long time. It has been around ever since credit cards where invented. A hacker may gain access to your account and withdraw money from your account using cloned cards and your access numbers. They can get this by making you sign or use your card in scam sites. They can also hack into your computer and get your card information if you use it online in any way. They do this through spyware. Therefore, keep your firewall and antivirus programs up to date. Also, never let your credit card out of your sight if ever you use it for a transaction. Finally, never write down your access numbers just anywhere. Simply memorize it so you won’t have any problems.

The internet is a dangerous place. Use caution in everything, be it no FICO credit cards being offered or in just basic usage of your credit card to ensure your security.

A new loan or credit card application provokes lenders, landlords, investors and FICO to “inquire” about the nature of the said credit. This phenomenon is known as an inquiry, which has a fair potential of affecting your credit score. A general rule of thumb suggests signing up for free FICO credit score report on bi-yearly basis. This is to give you an idea about your current credit score, before you end up with another “credit card”.

Yes, inquiries do impact credit score and like all other organizations, FICO also has a way of evaluating inquiries. Generally speaking, a new credit card or credit application is considered as a risk by loan sharks. Since lenders don’t want a liability at hands, they’ll either handover loans with strict terms or plainly refuse to give it. In both cases, you’re going to lose. Of course, the first option seems a little “viable” but you’ll have a hard time meeting payback and heavily imposed compounded interest rates.

To what extent does an inquiry affect MyFICO credit scores?

If you have a good credit clearance history, signing up for another credit card or loan, will not affect your existing credit score that much. A greater impact only occurs, in case of multiple accounts with default cases. Filling in an application form for a new card, just to shed off old loans, will decrease the credit ratings. FICO will deduct points accordingly, and you’ll have to abide by higher interest rates from landlords, utility corporations, online retailers, subscription based services and etc. Inquiries from client’s side that pertain to free FICO credit reports, do not affect anything.

In case a 3rd party makes a credit inquiry that doesn’t involve a client’s consent, the phenomenon will be touted as a “soft inquiry”. These inquiries are involuntary, which are only run to get some background info. Lenders, banks and prospective employers normally opt for this sort of thing.

On the contrary, announced or voluntary credit inquiries are marked down on a credit consumer’s report.

All of the above loans are hazardous in case the consumer is headed for them in multiples. Such inquiries slice through the credit score like a knife. Sooner or later, the consumer is red flagged for all sorts of future business transactions. A debt consolidation company would seem to be the only option from this point onwards. As a side note, never ever go for credit card cancellation process while it’s in the middle of payment hassles.

With all of the worry regarding the recession, job loss, rising prices of food and medical costs, we know have something else to worry about. Currently we have 2 main types of credit scores, the FICO credit score and the Vantage credit score, vantagescore.com. However, Fair Isaac sued the three credit bureaus in 2006, accusing them of unfair and uncompetitive practices that it said harmed the FICO brand regarding use of the Vantage score.

Starting in late January or early February 2009 a new credit score will replace the current FICO credit score called the FICO 08. The FICO 08 will have the same range of 300 to 850 as the current (classic) FICO score.

The new FICO 08 will be used by TransUnion in late January 2009. Equifax will begin using the new FICO 08 in spring 2009. Experian has not announced when the new score will be used Equifax because it is waiting for the lawsuit filed by Fair Isaac to be resolved.

Fair Isaac insists the new credit score formula was created as a result of a demand by consumers due to increasing defaults on mortgage payments and late payments to creditors. The FICO 08 claims to provide a better way of analyzing consumer risk and that the product will be used by most lenders to grant credit and to set interest rates and other loan terms. FICO scores are also factored into credit decisions by insurance underwriters, cell phone, and utility companies and are sometimes used by employers to evaluate prospective employees.

Fair Isaac says most consumers will see a slight increase in their FICO 08 scores compared with their current FICO score numbers, but others will see a drop in their score. Fair Isaac says the new formula will do a better job of predicting consumers who are a good risk and who are a bad risk, especially among consumers: with bad credit or short credit histories, who are actively seeking credit or who are listed as authorized users (“piggybacked” on others’ good credit).

Fair Isaac said FICO 08 will be less harmful to those who have had a single serious credit setback, such as a charge-off or repossession, as long as their other active credit accounts are all in good standing. Having a “moderate amount” of credit inquiries on your credit reports won’t be as harmful to consumers under the new formula. No one knows what is considered a “moderate amount”. However, consumers with several delinquent accounts may experience a drop in their credit score.
