Systems and methods are described that simulate a credit score. The system
enables a user to modify a credit data element in order to determine its
effect on a credit score. The user can modify the element directly or
simulate an action that, if performed, would modify the element. Since
the number of possible modifications and actions can be overwhelming, in
one embodiment, the system suggests modifications and actions to be
simulated. These suggestions can be tailored to a user's goal, such as
increasing a credit score by a particular number of points or allocating
a particular sum of money in order to maximize a credit score. In one
embodiment, the system obtains credit data from multiple credit bureaus
and can determine credit scores using different algorithms, such as the
different algorithms used by the different credit bureaus.
