Story summary
  • FHFA director William Pulte and HUD secretary Scott Turner said Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Federal Housing Administration (FHA) will adopt VantageScore 4.0, FICO 10T for underwriting.
  • The scores include rent and utility payments, with a $10 million trial that has originated loans after twenty-one lenders were cleared to use them.
  • Experts warn may be limited to tens of thousands because renters lack credit-report data, while officials expect lower costs and competition.
