Credit Scoring: What We’ve Been Up To • Implemented Credit Scoring in July 2009 • Use Equifax credit risk model integrated directly into CSG workflows • Chose wireless credit model, not same as FICO • All new connects and restarts across all sales channels are scored • Current customers wishing to upgrade, transfers and seasonal restarts do not get scored • Customers must score 600 or higher to pass • Failing customers must pay $100 deposit if they wish to connect
Why We Made Changes: • 40% of our new connects will disconnect before their 1 year anniversary • Half of those disconnects - 20% of the sample - were non-pays • Half of non-pays – or 10% of all new connects - disconnect within 1st 120 days • 60% of Direct Sales new connects are gone within 12 months • Each non pay disconnect costs us over $500 in capital and operating investment losses! • Bad debt, equipment losses, cost to acquire, install & disconnect costs, etc.
