The new FICO system—called FICO 08 (apparently it was meant to debut last year)—has tweaked many factors, hoping to distinguish between consumers who've made an isolated mistake and those with habitual credit troubles. Our friends over at Consumerist have covered the highlights:

  • They will look at the total picture more. A single repossession, for instance, won't matter as much if everything else looks good.

Head over to Consumerist for a closer look at four other ways the scoring has changed, then let's hear how you feel about those changes in the comments.

Unfortunately contractor call and tell us that the siding we choose is not available at warehouse while the computer system indicates otherwise. So we have to wait another week till it gets here.

Well, next week (today), I got to know that delivery for a double sink for our bathroom will be delayed too. And the reason for this,
