Subject: RE: credit score, math, Block Communications, election, 0.86 factor
You published, “Multiplying a VantageScore by 0.86 translates it into an approximate FICO score.”
However, using that formula, if the lowest score on Scale A is 501, then the lowest score on Scale B is 431, not 300.
Who is your source for that translation?
