Today there is a very controversial matter which many job seekers are complaining about. The right to apply for a job without being asked for a check of their credit in order to get the job they are applying for. This has become a real catch twenty two. If you have lost your job and are having trouble for months or years getting one and your credit is getting in the red, how will you ever have an opportunity to pay it back if you do not have a job? People are being turned down for jobs because of their credit. This seems to me that this is unconstitutional, because a person should have a right to be able to get a job regardless of their credit history. Side note you cannot discriminate if you OWN YOUR OWN PROPERTY when wanting to rent to or sell it. If people had a job they could begin to work towards correcting their credit. Why can’t they look back at when the person had a job and they had a good credit history?
Next totally unacceptable problem with this is every time you check your credit or someone else checks it your score goes down. THIS ABSOLUTELY SHOULD NOT BE! HELP leaders of our country protect your citizens against such unfair tactics! You want to write a bill that SHOULD get passed here is one!
