Current Affairs · Credit Scoring Analytics
In consumer credit scoring algorithms, if Borrower X had a 60-day Days Past Due (DPD) event 3 years ago but maintained a clean record since, whereas Borrower Y experienced a 30-day DPD event 2 months ago, what is the expected impact on their credit scores?
- 1Borrower X will face zero penalty as scoring models discard payment history older than 12 months.
- 2Both will face an identical score drop because any delinquency above 30 days is treated equally.
- 3Borrower Y will suffer a more significant score drop because recency of delinquency is a stronger predictor of near-term risk.✓
- 4Borrower X will have a lower score because 60 days overdue is inherently worse than 30 days.
Correct answer
Borrower Y will suffer a more significant score drop because recency of delinquency is a stronger predictor of near-term risk.
