CREDIT FAIRNESS
Everyone deserves equal access to fair and accurate credit scores.
Credit fairness is a complex topic, but it’s one that we feel passionately about at National Legal Center. We’re taking action and having conversations to advocate and call for credit equality, policy advancement and transparency in the credit reporting industry.
For too long, the credit reporting industry has operated without adequate regulation or oversight. Because of this, we’ve spoken with hundreds of people who have unfairly been denied lending applications, lost job opportunities or their actual jobs based on false data, and made poor financial decisions justified by the thought of building a credit score.
These are just a few examples of how the current system is unfair and harmful when left without checks and balances.
One key way to fix the mess is by carrying the message. Join our email series on #creditfairness to learn about the problem and how to take a stand against credit inequality.
