Credit Score?
Credit Score?
Lately (and by that I mean, in the last ~6 months) I've been seeing an exponential increase of "check your credit score" ads. Of course, I wouldn't be giving any personal informations, the least concerning my money, to rainbow colored dinosaurs dancing in an ad on certain dubious websites. I was just wondering why so many websites (is it the same one with different ad layouts?) would decide to suddenly offer this service - and if this applies - where is the crook in it. Do they biaise your score and urge you to buy a certain service? Do they use your personal informations to send you a bunch of publicity?

I am pretty sure it's just a scam to get your personal information and then sell it to other companies.

Re: Credit Score?
Economy in the US decided to take up skydiving and now everyone has more debt and less savings, I guess.
Can you hear them?
