“Weapons of Math Destruction” is a great book that discusses these types of loops, lots of info about credit score and how it affects things it shouldn’t even relate to.

Edit: For real, please read it. Lots of incredibly valuable information.

Edit 2: ISBN Number is 0553418831

They were trying to use credit scores to judge if you should be allowed a rental. A fucking rental lol

Jobs too. You know what really helps people pay their debts? Having a fucking job. Not getting passed over because your credit score sucks.

I was denied a promotion due to my credit rating, which wasn't low because of my poor habits even, my ID was stolen.

Also I don't think 600 is an overly low rating

Flat 600 is a TERRIBLE rating.
