But does the corporate data collection factor into your FICO score? Unless there's some new scary development I'm not aware of, the FICO score is only based on the following: length and number of accounts, revolving utilization, if payments are on time, and the loans you have made (based on the size and frequency of them).
FICO is just one of a multitude of scoring systems which impact people's lives in the US today.
