See this message and your response at https://blog.creditscoring.com/?p=3843.
You broadcast, “Whether you’re applying for a mortgage or a job, your credit score determines how easy it will be for you to get it” and “You could even be turned down for a job if your credit score isn’t high because you may look irresponsible to a prospective employer.”
Employers do not use credit scores. Pay no attention to that attorney general behind the website.
Did your interviewer ask the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau director about employers allegedly using credit scores?
It’s complicated.
When do you air corrections?
Have you been to Tuvalu?
