Reports are that the credit score of the average American has never been higher.

Maybe we have learned lessons from the past.

Is it because debt has never been higher?

Please provide a source. And a meaning of "average".

Did they change the scale? because I find that hard to believe.

my score has never been higher. and i'm guessing that after the financial crisis, there are a lot of folks like me scared straight.

not sure how higher scores jives with the fact that bank overdraft fees have now hit a post-crisis high.
