make it an invasion of privacy for employers to check your credit history and or score for employment. End credit checks

Created by E.G. on October 27, 2011

With millions of professionals out of the workforce due to various reasons, the problem is worsen by employers standard practice of making you agree to a credit check during the application process or prior to an employment offer. If an invasion of your credit report did not take place, you would have been hired and pay your bills. It's a known fact that when you lose your job, you lose your house, car, and are unable to pay your credit cards and student loans. You didn't wake up one day and decide it was a good day to be foreclosed upon or have your car repossessed. Please sign this petition to make it illegal for employers to check your credit in order to not hire you or check it later to terminate you.
