Why are the Credit Reporting Bureaus still controlling our lives? Especially in a recession or economically stressed situation, as the US is in at the moment? Not only Americans citizens but the US Government itself is in dire financial straits. Why are Credit ratings still being given so much control over consideration for Jobs, Loans, Housing, Govt. Health and Welfare, etc. Not everyone has a bad credit rating because of laziness or just plain irresponsibility. Not everyone is dishonest or trying to beat or take advantage of others misfortunes. We are financially hurting. People are looking for help wherever they can find it, only to be knocked down constantly by Credit reports. What would be your priority? Feed your family or put off paying a credit card payment?
