Stop all businesses from judging people by their credit history. Our credit history is poor because of student loans!

Created by P.H. on May 10, 2013

I have created this petition because I feel that the students who went to school to better themselves are getting railroaded at this point. Now every position we apply for does credit checks. What does this have to do with my ability to work and to add my specialized training to a great company. I personally did online classes which are more expensive than going to class but it was convenient. Now I'm up to over 100,000+ in student loans, some federal and others private. The private loan companies are REDICULOUS! They have no good plans for their borrowers. I graduated in 2011 with a Master's in Health Administration and I am still a Medical Asisstant making 13.39hr. I want people with student debt to have a equal opportunity to show their self worth without being judged by their credit.
