No, I am not the founder of Quora. I just get crushed on at Quora a lot. Back in the early days of Silicon Valley, a girl I turned down for a beej wrote about it on Quora. Gossip. The bay area loves its gossip!! That email is my quora filter over on gmail
via my email… Bianca Gilmore requested your answer “Why are credit bureaus’ algorithms used to calculate credit scores, secret?”
Q: why are the algorithms that credit bureaus use to calculate credit scores, secret?
Larry Chiang Answer: short answer –it is about the money
Long answer will cost you upvoting 3-20 of my previous credit underwriting answers over on Quora Bianca Gilmore (if that is even your real name!)
I will wait for my email address to send me notifications after you have read and upvoted previous credit answers and 20000+ tweets about credit underwriting risk mitigation and credit bureau disputes
