thats what it has come to these days, if you have anything less than good credit, oyu might as well be locked up. In order to rent a house you have to have good credit, to get most jobs these days , you have to have good credit. But not everyone is "alowed" to have credit. Im not necesarrily talking about credit cards-just credit. it seems that if you come from money-you have credit. if you gat money (and lots of it) then oyu can get credit. but most people now a days will never see it. It has become another way that the people "in charge" have control over hte population. they only will let people have the chance to gain credit if they think that those people deserve it. Shouldnt everyone be born with good credit and its what you do with it that determines if oyu get to keep it?

Credit is a huge issue when it comes to the American dream, with solid gold credit you can drive a BMW and only make $25,000.00 a year. It is just proof that you pay your bills. Credit providers need to realize that people do fall on hard times and have financial difficulties, especially with our lousy health care system, no insurance and you need medical treatment, BAM! Your credit is shot if you can't pay it off in a month or so. That is the only thing on my credit report, medical bills! They are not suppose to hold those against you though! Still I have 4 credit cards I pay on time every month and it has improved my credit score somewhat, from 571 to 650, not great, but not too horrible either!
