I think the banks themselves should be allowed to decide when the risk is worth taking. It will all be determined by actuarial tables like every other similar business decision.
If the risk of someone defaulting 15 years after bankruptcy is 20% higher, then banks may charge that person 20% more interest.
- mfringel 9y agoAre you familiar with the output of a typical credit report? I'm curious as to why you're focusing on bankruptcy, when there are a significant amount of other signals banks use, which do not age off in the same way.
