The Origins of Your FICO Score
Well, lets travel back to the 1960’s with a company by the name of Fair Isaac whom devised a very unique and intricate mathematical computation formula to determine the credibility of consumers who apply for loans. This formula allowed the company to study a person’s personal credit history and generate a 3 digit number to represent the likelihood that the consumer would be able to repay the loan they were applying for. This started the revolution of credit risk scoring for the financial services industry, and enabled financial institutions to improve business performance and expand consumers’ access to credit lending.
How the FICO Did They Do That? 
Your FICO score epitomizes a consumer’s credit history into a Number based on previous credit history, and are calculated by using scoring models and mathematical tables that assign points for different pieces of information which best predict future credit performance.

Keep in mind, this formula to predict your financial future is so complex that Fair Isaac & Co. and the credit bureaus have not exposed how these scores are actually calculated, which has been ruled acceptable by the Federal Trade Commission. Let’s face it, even if their was a release of knowledge we probably couldn’t calculate it ourselves anyways, unless of course.. you are a mathematical genius! Score model developers find predictive and repetitive factors in the data that have proven to indicate a consumers future credit pursuance.
