You wrote

Below are some times when your credit score can come into play. These might not impact your specific situation, but it is important for others to realize how far their credit score can go.

1. Getting a job: While an employer must obtain your permission to pull your credit report, declining to authorize it creates question in the employer's eye. An employer could choose another applicant for the job if you appear secretive.

However, employers do not use credit scores.

Do you still believe that getting a job is a time that a reader's credit score can come into play?

That article no longer exists on the Sacramento Bee website. However, its misinformation lives on on DailyRosetta.com.
