Can Facebook Affect Your Credit Score?

Before you post about your weekend shenanigans, think again.

You already know that your Facebook posts can prevent you from getting a job and even get you fired! But did you know that what you're posting can affect your credit score?

Apparently those big reporting bureaus like FICO and TransUnion are looking at "alternative data" that can make the difference in your credit score getting that extra little boost.

Now this alternative data doesn't include social media-yet. But FICO CEO Will Lansing told the Financial Times last week: “If you look at how many times a person says ‘wasted’ in their profile, it has some value in predicting whether they’re going to repay their debt.”

So even though they're not using this info quite yet, you're still better off leaving out every detail of your weekend for when they do!
