It's a ripoff, yes, but it's better than spending hours on the phone fixing your credit after it's been stolen. I fully support this federal legislation to make it free.
- njarboe 9y agoIsn't it crazy how the banks have somehow convinced people that when the bank loans money to a fraudster that somehow your credit has been stolen? No - the bank had money stolen from it by a fraudster. When the bank lies to the credit bureau that you have defaulted on a loan, the bank should be fucking punished heavily. Can't some US Senator (Elizabeth Warren?) please point out this fact and introduce legislation to fine the banks? Everyone (minus epsilon bankers) would love it.
