Forbid businesses from running credit checks on prospective hires and new hires.

Created by C.G. on December 03, 2012

Employers must be stopped from using credit checks to discriminate against the unemployed. When people loss their job they still have to pay their bills, sometimes they fall behind on bills, and if they loss their job they may also loss health insurance and medical bills along with other debts can wipe out savings and destroy credit ratings. Then when employers check credit histories and see low credit scores applicants are passed over with no chance to explain, no job means no money to pay bills making the problem worse.
