Employers do not use credit scores. In fact, they cannot even get credit scores because the consumer reporting agencies will not sell scores for employment purposes. And, even though that was established seven years ago, the myth continues.

Oblivious to their madness, the people and entities below are not helping the Myth 2 problem.

Do not believe the statements below. They are false. The people who wrote them, whoever they are, do not know what they are talking about. Employers do not use credit scores.

HEAT 1 - Randy vs. Roger

Lawson Bank (Randy). "Today, many businesses, including insurance companies, phone companies and employers use a person's credit score to determine if a product, service or employment offer should be provided." - in the internet domain lawsonbank.com, Lawson Bank, Randy L. Baker President and CEO

Discover Bank (n30810) (Roger). "Landing a job depends on several factors, but did you know a credit score is one of them? Be prepared and learn about what employers are checking on your score."* - in discover.com, Discover Bank, Roger C. Hochschild, president and COO

HEAT 2 - Ginni vs. Lori

IBM (Ginni). "The rule of thumb when it comes to the numbers is that they are usually looking for a credit score of 750 or better when considering a candidate for employment." - in salary.com, "International Business Machines Corporation ("IBM"), owner of the Salary.com brand and webpage," Virginia M. (Ginni) Rometty, chairman, president and CEO, IBM

State of Minnesota (n532) (Lori). "Credit card companies, auto lenders, mortgage lenders, insurance companies, utility companies, landlords, and employers may use your credit score to determine whether they will offer you credit, a loan, a job, or even an apartment."*† - in mn.us, state of Minnesota, Lori Swanson, attorney general

HEAT 3 - Barb vs. Jamie

Citibank (n1461) (Barb). "Lenders, insurers, landlords, employers and utility companies use your credit score to determine if you qualify for a loan, and at what interest rate and credit limit." - Citibank, N.A., Barbara Desoer, CEO
