109% rise in delinquencies even among “perfect” borrowers
When we hear about missed payments, we usually picture people with shaky credit. But data from VantageScore, published in August and reported by Reuters, tells a different story: 90-day delinquencies among super-prime borrowers jumped 109% compared to last year, while prime borrowers saw a 47% increase.
