I get it if the job is top level and you are dealing with money

in 2009 43% of companies were checking applicants credit scores

Poll result (8 votes) fair (1 votes) Vote unfair (1 votes) Vote total fucking fuckery what the fuck? (6 votes) Vote

show the whole picture.

I think its would unfair to use that as a sole reason not to hire or give someone an interview...but if you got two identical candidates and one got a 420 score...um, bye Watermelondrea

-The Knicks’ coaching search still includes a lone frontrunner, Kurt Rambis, whose qualifications for the position include a strong relationship with Jackson and a willingness to take the job.

on the scale of things that people use and the scale of things that people actually have within their control it's fairly fair.

i got turned down for an apartment, where the landlord was talking about how he had all these tenants that weren't paying rent, but they never checked my credit score.

....or anything of high monetary value that can easily be pawned somewhere require it.

EDIT: And even with the aforementioned, having a low score doesn't mean a person is gonna be tempted to steal or that they're fiscally irresponsible.


Since 1976

incorrect stuff is supposed to be removed from your credit report.

but do you have any recourse for stuff that you know is legit that you still want to get off?

i been looking up pay for delete but from what i'm seeing it either no longer exists or never really did.

are credit card companies agreeing to remove perfectly legitimate items just because the deadbeat decided they were ready to pay?

In other words offer a creditor that you will pay something off if they agree to remove the negative reporting item. Some will, some won't.

When it comes to collections you can negotiate how much you will pay to have them remove it as an active collection, but if you pay less than the full balance it will be still reported as a closed collection account that was paid off for less than the balance.

You can also dispute anything on your report, legitimate or not directly with the three credit bureaus. The creditor has 30 days to prove that the account is legit, and if they don't then the bureaus will remove it. Some collection agencies are slow with responses to disputes so they will miss the boat, and it gets taken off of your credit. Worth trying.

It shouldn't be used at all, same for criminal background checks (though I can see a handful of exceptions for that one).

Where is the peace when we are in the back of ambulances? Where is the peace then?
They don't want to call for peace then.

Someone with shitty judgement and money skills can have excellent credit if they have someone willing to bail them out. Someone else may just have had a rough period financially. I know I had to explain some credit issues during a background check for my last job. It was humiliating.
