As a minimum one credit score model revealed improvement for 18.7 million borrowers with financial hardships during the pandemic, new TransUnion research shows.
In a study of VantageScore 4.0 alters for consumer credit lines other than student loans, TransUnion establish that 58% of those with an indicator of forbearance or any other type of payment relief program in 2020 saw a boost during that year, when the CARES Act limited some adverse credit actions.
Later, a divergence appears in the data for a subset of those borrowers who went on to get bank cards involving those who remained in plans and those who exited hardship.
Those exiting generally had higher credit consumption rates, were more likely to have mortgages, and experienced inferior levels of bank card delinquencies, unless they were borrowers with particularly high scores.
For instance, among those who left hardship and was not able to have “super prime” credit, 40% had mortgages, compared to 24% of those who continued in plans.
The average number of credit trade lines for those departing was 8.4 vs. 7.6 for those that in general stayed in hardship.
Non-mortgage balances on average advanced $16,000 for those in plans and were more than $25,000 for people who left them.
More than that, the average use of revolving credit was over 46% for those who left, while the equivalent for people who didn’t was nearly 40%.
After gaining bank cards, 30-plus day delinquencies on that new credit seen through June of this year were lowest for borrowers who left plans at 7.4%, compared to 8.7% for those who remained in them.
Only in the group with mostly high credit scores did this trend reverse, with 0.7% of those remaining in hardship delinquent vs. 0.8% of exiters.
Paul Siegfried the senior vice president of card and banking lead at TransUnion said “The hardship Left by consumers by the third quarter of 2020 possibly have a mortgage and performed good than those who remained in plans, except in super prime, where so as to flips.”
He refused to comment on the causes or ramifications of the findings awaiting further study, but noted that the findings of clearly different performance between the groups remaining in plans match up to those leaving them, and the segmentation by credit, appear significant.
