TransUnion launching credit score overhaul - here's what's changing

TransUnion is overhauling its credit rating system in a bid to make it "clearer, more transparent and informative". The credit agency will soon begin to roll out an expanded scoring system ranging from 0 to 999 - up from 710 currently. Alongside the updated range, TransUnion said the new score used a broader set of data, such as how account balances have changed over time and how credit cards are used.
