Plain-English Summary
The proposal would require mortgage lenders to consider additional types of credit information beyond traditional credit scores when deciding whether to approve home loans, potentially allowing borrowers with limited credit histories to qualify more easily. This could help people who don't have traditional credit records—such as those who pay rent, utilities, or other bills on time but don't use credit cards—get mortgages they might otherwise be denied. The change would affect both lenders and borrowers seeking home loans.
