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.
