Credit-score provider VantageScore Solutions LLC said it would stop factoring all medical debts that are in collections into the latest versions of its scores.
VantageScore’s decision goes beyond a recent move by Equifax Inc Experian PLC and TransUnion to remove many medical collections from people’s credit reports. The three companies own VantageScore, which competes against Fair Isaac Corp., the creator of the more widely used FICO credit scores.
