I would totally disagree here, a random person can start a rummer about a random person's credit history. People who have come in contact with each other can start rumors about each other's credit history. There's no authentication.
I would argue it's really no different, it's just bigger and most of us just live with it.
- wutbrodo 8y agoI don't understand what you mean. I'm contrasting the credit reporting system with gossip, and saying that one of the differences is that anyone can gossip while only relatively tightly-controlled entities with avenues for recourse can affect your credit score.
- swiley 8y agoRight, I fully understood what you where saying. > only relatively tightly-controlled entities As in anyone who can copy a number down? Furthermore the actual credit agencies aren't really well controlled, they're just the big version of that one (or few) person (people) who knows all the gossip. > avenues for recourse can affect your credit score. I haven't heard of these and seriously doubt their effectiveness.
