    <link>http://www.experian-da.com/events/SimRiskChallenge/qa.html</link>
    <description> Is a monthly customer management score predicting risk of default available? 
 </description>

<item>
    <title>Answer: Ask the Expert </title>
    <link>http://www.experian-da.com/events/SimRiskChallenge/qa.html</link>
    <description>Yes, a behavioural score is available for Credit Cards, Personal Loans and Current Accounts, as well as an overall Customer-Level score. However, teams will draw their own opinions on the effectiveness of each, (during the webinars with their Drivers.)The scores will not be effective at predicting risk if the strategies have been inappropriate.
