PredictiveMetrics, Inc. September 2009 Credit scoring models have proliferated in the equipment finance industry. Recent lending institution failures outside the equipment finance industry may have underscored the risk of over-reliance on automated scoring models in place of human judgment. Although it has been shown that in the case of an extremely large number of mortgages no evaluation process of any sort was used in considering the risk inherent in so called “liars loans”.
