WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--At a press teleconference at 12:00 noon Eastern on Monday, June 18, the Consumer Federation of America (CFA) and VantageScore Solutions will release the results of their eighth annual survey on consumer understanding of credit scores. The survey examines credit score knowledge of those who have obtained their scores and those who have not.

These results are critically important given the extraordinary impact credit scores have on the financial lives of consumers.
At the press tele-conference, CFA and VantageScore Solutions will release the latest consumer credit survey results and other key information regarding credit scores:
- Which consumers actually check and know their credit scores.
- What consumers understand, and don’t understand, about credit scores.
- Changes in percentage of Americans getting credit scores and reports.
