I am not a major corporation, multi-billion dollar company or a wealthy individual, nor have I ever filed for bankruptcy protection. Who am I? I am a responsible individual who spends less than I make. I don't have 42 revolving accounts, I have ONE credit card for convenience purposes which I pay off EVERY MONTH. Thus, not spending more than I have. It's a simple concept people. There is a correlation and it's not discriminatory. My score doesn't know if I'm rich or poor or what color my skin is or what God I worship or if I want to marry my Labrador Retriever. All it knows is whether I meet my obligations. Laws have been passed to address special circumstances, but that's all we keep hearing about. Lose the straw men arguments and get over it!
