WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--At a press teleconference at 12:00 noon Eastern on Monday, July 20th, the Consumer Federation of America and VantageScore Solutions will release the results of their tenth annual survey on consumer understanding of credit scores.

- What consumers understand, and don’t understand, about credit scores and their uses.
- How income levels affect credit score knowledge.
- What's at stake when consumers do not understand their credit scores.
- The best way consumers can raise their credit scores.
