    Lot of people defending it though

    “It’s not that bad 700 score is easy to get”

      I defaulted on a loan and my credit score dropped down to 500. Still being chased by the debt collectors a year later and it’s gone back up to 700 by itself. I have no credit cards or anything. The whole thing is a joke.

        I’ve heard it enough in person

        “Just do a bank credit program. You give them $500 you don’t have and…” Fuck off

          That sounds more like people coping with the system than endorcing it. “It is what it is” of course is counterproductive to dismantling it.
