    Literally nobody is making you apply for lines of credit outside your income levels… that’s entirely on you.

    There’s no game to play. You take out credit, you pay it back. You have revolving credit, you pay the balance every month and don’t carry debt. It’s literally that simple.

    I have never had to apply for an increase in credit limits, pay your bills and banks/credit card companies will just do it automatically.

    It’s really not hard in the least.

      So you’ve never had an emergency or a need for a large one-time purchase. Good for you. You are not everyone. The sooner you learn and understand that people that aren’t you exist, the sooner you can graduate high school.

        Are you arguing that the system is made up or that it’s unfair to the poor?

        I would agree with the latter, but you haven’t been terribly consistent in your argument. I’ve had troubles with my credit score in the past, which is part of why I understand how it works.

        I agree that credit scores unfairly disadvantage the poor, but that’s merely a reflection of deeper economic issues that should be dealt with. Abolishing the credit score won’t enable the poor to suddenly buy houses.
