Copyright problems with FICO (Fair Isaac)

[bholabhala]

I own a domain name, http://www.xyzfico.com. I just started business with this name (obviously xyz is not the first part). My business is to repair credit and i have this website running online. Today i got an email from FICO vice president, she is asking me to immediately stop this activity, shut down the website and change business name, because it contains FICO word in there. Now i have a concern, if my business name is XYZFico, and not all uppercase, as FICO (All upper case) is registered to Fair Isaac Corporation. I dont want to change the name of my business, but this email has really made me nervous. I am just a college student, and trying to start little busines shere. What should i do next?

FICO seems to be a registered trademark. They may have a point. Moreso, if they don't, are you willing to take on their attorneys?
