Four years ago we did a credit score validation. We provided Experian with all of the data. We were working with a particular analyst; he did a fantastic job.

It helped us set our credit tiers, as well as the margin, the pricing, between them as well as our underwriting cutoffs. We’ve had outstanding results since that time. Our losses have come down. Our delinquencies have come down. Our approval rate has gone up. So it was extremely successful.
