Voter registration?? So you get a higher score if you're a certain political party. Alrighty then.
I wish they were transparent about what exactly they use and how they use it, not what they're saying they "may" use.
Not sure which part of the world the above poster was referencing, but I wanted to highlight that in some countries (like the UK that is briefly mentioned) registering to vote doesn’t come with a political alignment, it’s merely registering to vote.
From what I recall that is definitely a factor in credit ratings here in the UK, and may well be in other countries as well.
No it’s nothing to do with political affiliation at all,
And someone has already replied about the UK which is largely where my experience lies in this area.
Voter registration (entry onto the electoral roll) is additional confirmation that the address you are using for other credit/loan information is accurate.
