The CARES Act Section 4021 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, signed into law on March 27, 2020, amended the Fair Credit Reporting Act The “covered period” is either period beginning on January 1, 2020, and ending on the later of (i) 120 days after the enactment of the CARES Act or (ii) 120 days after the termination of the national emergency declared on March 13, 2020. Under the new subsection, [I]f a furnisher makes an accommodation with respect to 1 or more payments on a credit obligation or account of a consumer, and the consumer makes the payments or is not required to make 1 or more payments pursuant to the accommodation, the furnisher shall— (I) report the credit obligation or account as current; or (II) if the credit obligation or account was delinquent before the accommodation— (aa) maintain the delinquent status during the period in which the accommodation is in effect; and (bb) if the consumer brings the credit obligation or account current during the period described in (aa), report the credit obligation or account as current. While the language of the CARES Act fails to specify, it would be wise for furnishers to assume that the new subsection applies retroactively and implement these changes to any account for which accommodation was made on or after January 31, 2020. Note, however, that these changes do not apply to charged-off accounts.

3 tips for a better 2020 budget! Dave: Hello this week we are talking about 3 tips for a better 2020 budget. I am Dave Sullivan here part of the marketing team with People Driven Credit Union. I've got a special guest! Matt: I'm Matthew Gage with Greenpath Financial Wellness. Dave: Matthew, why don't you tell us three things people can do to get their budget in line for 2020. What are the first three steps an individual should take to start to black on track with their 2020 budget. Matt: Yes absolutely, that is a question we're getting a lot of people asking right now. We have been very busy this year and budgeting is a big part of that. The first thing individuals need to do is look to simplify everything.  There can be a lot of chaos in budgets in 2020, people are kind of scrambling all over the place especially with the holidays behind us.

Experian Boost® Score Today we’re going to take an in-depth look at Experian Boost score, One of the problems that FICO® has had in the past with other versions of a new FICO® score was trying to score people with a thin repository file. FICO® was trying to create a reliable scoring model that used fewer data inputs. The Experian Boost® score is the first-time additional data has been used from a financial intuition to supplement the repository file. They’re connecting bank payment history into this repository file, looking for consistent payments to creditors. Experian Boost® will be included in FICO 8 and FICO 9 credit scores FICO® has tried this in the past, they called it XP, they called it new FICO®, many times over the years they’ve tried to create a FICO® score using less information and it never worked. What’s different about this is that they are getting more information from financial institutions. What Experian Boost® is looking for is a series of payments to a creditor like a utility company or a cell phone provider, something that the consumer has set up to automatically pay or to pay through a bank account. Experian Boost® is linking consumer accounts much like an online mortgage application or TurboTax, they’re interfacing with the consumer’s financial institutions. Creating a credit history based on past payments that the consumers have made and adding it to the Experian repository file. I had made some payments out of my Bank of America account and when Experian Boost® reviewed that information. it gave me a few more points now this is not designed for somebody with a long credit history is really designed for somebody with a thin credit history somebody who does not have a lot of credit. The drawbacks from a lending perspective is that Experian Boost® will not look at derogatory information. It looks at payment history in consumer’s bank accounts. In my specific situation, it found a few payments out of one of my accounts and added it to my repository file. My DTE account added to my Experian® Boost score; 19 payments, a utility, average payment amount, then it calculates my score new score. In this situation, my score happened to go up, a few points from the boost. Experian Boost® will improve both FICO 8 and FICO 9 scores if your financial institution uses one of those scoring models then it could help you get a better rate on some financing. If a consumer is planning to apply for a mortgage Fannie and Freddie do not accept any other credit score other than FICO5 score. The Experian Boost® score will not impact a consumer’s mortgage credit score. Right now, Fannie and Freddie still require FICO5 I’ll be at the Building Community Conference in Lansing speaking about all the latest developments in credit scoring.

The USA Today story implied that young people may not understand how credit works but it has more to do with what generation has the longest credit history. Younger generations have lower credit scores because they don’t have the opportunity to have a 20 or 30-year-old credit account. If a consumer has never been late and they have a credit card that is two years old vs someone that has a 30-year-old credit card; the person who has the 30-year-old credit card is going to have a higher score. If the older person has missed payments has collections on their credit or public record then obviously they are going to have a lower credit score. For the most part, people pay their bills on time, just having a longer credit history is going to give consumers a better score.

I believe so, I went to the hospital in 2012 and my insurance paid my bill in full and never got a bill. In 2014, I went back to the hospital.

This week I talk with Kevin Elsenheimer, the executive director of Michigan State Housing Development Authority. http://www.michigan.gov/ownmihome Dave: Kevin thank you for being here I wanted to let people know a little bit about MSHDA and what is MSHDA. What function is it serving here in Michigan? Kevin: MSHDA is the state’s housing bank basically we are part of state government but we’re a little bit different because we can provide loans to individuals. The Constitution says the state of Michigan can’t do that. We have a particular charter that allows us to act as the state’s bank and we do several different things for example; we do multifamily development and lending for low-income housing projects around the state but we also have a very robust single-family loan program where we’ll go out and buy mortgages from banks credit unions around the state that we have clients that will be interested in our products.

Big Changes are coming to Rural Development October 1st 2016. Mike Archer and I get together to talk about them in this interview. Dave: I wanted to talk about the changes coming up next week with the Rural Development loans, can you tell us a little bit about RT loans? Mike: Absolutely! A Rural Development loan is one of our favorite products here in Jackson. We are rural community and RD is designed for people purchasing homes this type of community. It is a fantastic product. It's a 0% down; interest rates are fantastic. They do charge funding fees which were going to talk about in a minute. They do not have Private Mortgage Insurance but they do have a monthly guarantee fee, but no PMI. Dave: So zero down? Mike: Zero down. Dave: A lot of people think that it has to do with farms. Mike: Actually we cannot do farms on this product. With RD loans anything income producing does not qualify. It's designed for people purchasing a home, a single-family residence within a rural area. Dave: It's really based on where the home falls on the map that USDA designates? Mike: Exactly there's a map, that will be linked below, so just plug in your property address and it tells you if you're eligible, it very simple. Dave: Mortgage 1 is one of the largest providers of that type of loan in Michigan? Mike: We are a market leader in the RT lending which were all very proud of. Dave: Mike could you talk a little bit about the changes that are coming up for October. Mike: October first we have huge changes in the RD funding fee. Rural Development charges an upfront funding fee very similar to a VA loan for people that know what a VA loan is like. RD charges a funding fee of 2.75 percent which is financed into the loan. That fee is dropping from 2.75 to one percent. Dave: That's a huge savings. Mike: On $150,000 loan that's a savings of about $2,600 dollars. Dave: That's a lot of money! Mike: Also, the monthly guarantee fee is dropping from .50 Percent to .35 which is a savings of about ninety dollars a month. Dave: On that hundred fifty thousand loan? Mike: Right Dave: That's not a lot, but it's something and Mortgage Rates are so low right now. Mike: Rates are fantastic right now, again near historic lows, and who know where rates are going. It's a tremendous time to take advantage of this product especially. Dave: We have branches all over Michigan but if they want to reach you directly here in Jackson, how would they go about doing that? Mike: In Jackson we have an awesome website its www.mortgage1jackson.com or our phone number here 517-315-4626. http://eligibility.sc.egov.usda.gov/eligibility/welcomeAction.do?pageAction=sfp

I have transitioned out of the Tiny house and I am now staying at an AirBNB. I wanted to get some advise on how to start making some money on the side with AirBnB. Dave: …with Airbnb proprietor Sharon, I am actually staying with Sharon here in North Muskegon. A lot of people try to repair their credit and what they struggle with is raising money. I think Airbnb is a great way for consumers to raise money and then pay off some of their bills to improve their credit score. Sharon what was it like starting to become an Airbnb provider?

Remove Collections using the National Consumer Assistance Plan. In March of 2015 the New York Attorney General entered into an agreement with the three major repositories. They agreed that changes would be made regarding how some debts would show up on consumers credit reports. One of those things was how a debt was showing up without the consumer actually signing for that debt. Meaning that if a consumer received a parking ticket those things were showing up on consumers credit reports. That’s not really a debtor agreement that a consumer entered into. The consumer did not agree to pay back that debt.

Trended Credit Data unintended consequences. Fannie Mae has postponed(until further notice) the new automated underwriting system DU 10, including introducing Trended Credit Data. Fannie Mae was expecting all three of the repositories to be ready with their trended credit data. Unfortunately, Experian® is not ready with their account history. Fannie initially considered moving forward using the old FICO®5 scoring model with Trended, but that is now on hold. Trended credit data is an important improvement to the FICO® scoring model. FICO® scores were designed to predict the likelihood of repayment based on a consumers past payment behavior. What consumer below do you think is more likely to pay their bills in the future? The consumer that keeps their balances low and pays more than the minimum amount over the course of two years? The consumer that keeps their balances maxed out during the same time period and makes the minimum payments. Then that consumer pays off their credit cards in the current month?

Fannie Mae is making more announcements on how they’re going to handle trended credit data. Trended Credit Data live June 25th, The repositories TransUnion and Equifax have introduced the trended credit data on all credit reports, Experian has not. I believe that’s why Fannie is delaying the roll-out of the credit scores that include this information; FICO® 9 scores and Vantage 4.0   http://thecreditguy.tv/trended-credit-data-live/

Michigan’s Big Show Interview I was invited on a Lansing  radio show last week. This was the interview… Michael Patrick Shields: What if your credit score was 1000? If I had a credit score like that could you get anything you wanted? The Credit Guy: Well the scoring model does not go up that high, anything above 760 you can have whatever you want and you get the best rate available. Michael Patrick Shields: You can imagine why people are disturbed by this credit number because when you and I were younger there was no such thing as credit scores. The Credit Guy: True, Yes. Michael Patrick Shields: Now we’re judged immediately by the Credit Score Number, this mysterious number that comes from, we don’t know where… The Credit Guy: Right Michael Patrick Shields: …and they’re different credit reporting agencies and this number controls your life.   http://thecreditguy.tv/what-if-your-credit-score-was-1000/

Tiny Credit Tip. Will reactivating an old account help my credit score? I really do love it here in the tiny house. This week I will show you the bathroom and the bedroom today in episode number four. I had a question come through on facebook about a borrower that a mortgage lender was working with, and the borrower had no revolvingaccounts except for one that had gone dormant. The loan officer’s question was, “If the borrower reactivated an old account, would the borrower see a boost in their credit score?” and of course it will. Especially, if the borrower only has one revolving account. Revolving accounts are very important to a credit score, If the borrower has one revolving account reactivated and it has seven years of good payment history, the borrowers credit score will improve because of the benefit from all of that good history on the account.

I want to talk about is trended credit reports. Fannie Mae has been working on trended credit reports for two years now. In the past when consumers make their payments on time and that is all that is recorded on their credit profile. The repositories only recorded if the payment was on time, they did not record any other information. The repositories didn’t record how much consumers owed, what was the high credit, if they paid more than the minimum payment. This is what trended credit reports will include in the future. Trended credit reports will create less fluctuations in credit scoring. Consumers will have a more consistent score although people who have a bad credit habits, will not be able to quickly turn it around. They will no longer be able to quickly improve their scores through paying down their credit utilization ratio right before they apply for a loan. Trended credit reports will look more closely at how consumers really paid the past, not just before the application anymore and depending on the reporting date consumers could wind up hurting their score by paying their bills on the due date.
