So if she ever plans on applying for a job, obtaining financing for a vehicle or getting insurance for said vehicle, a good credit score will save her money and open many, many doors.'"
That is a horrible thing to tell a foreign exchange student. As a U.S. citizen, I’m appalled, and I insist that you take action, today, to offset your reckless behavior and its implication for Sino-American relations. Employers do not use credit scores. I looked into it. Hell, even your company looked into it.
In what year did you become an expert?
