  1. Paid off = Erratic payments
  2. A couple of years ago, my identity was stolen so I had to contact all 3 credit bureaus and all 3 of them have their customer service lines outsourced to India call centers full of people with mediocre English at best. I was floored that companies in charge of something as important as our credit would be allowed to do that. It's not surprising at all when Oliver says they have been the subject of the most complaints.
  3. I was eating a wendy's frosty™ while watching this. I don't think it is goat semen but who knows.
  4. Fuck therapy, fuck meditation, fuck medication... just go through a couple of John Oliver videos early in the morning and your day is set as FINE !!! cheers mate.. & this is an opinion from an internet engineer !!
  5. I'm probably just being an idiot, but I'm not getting the "homophobic fairy joke" at 8:30
    Anyone out there with some minor enlightenment for me?
  6. the worst part is having no credit is worse than having bad credit. A person with no credit in the city will be turned down for an apartment and for work. Even if you do have good credit it can be ruined by anyone with no proof at all of actual debt but to fix it can take up to 10 years and over $10,000
  7. First 25 years of my life I had an apex twin in Indiana who had the same social security number, after all that, I'll save up for what I want. Oddly enough, my credit score is really good now that things are settled, but screw credit, it's the first step to a slippery slope.
  8. The websites are still up. It is only one page, but still it is damn funny.
  9. Student loans are a factor of your credit score

    Therefore, a shit ton of people of loads of debt

    In conclusion, you shouldn't be judged by your debt
  10. The irony of credit is that the people who can afford it don't need it while the people who need it can't afford it.
  11. Oh boohoo we have horrible, faulty Systems that could easily be fixed with some Form of general Citizen Registration and ID. What? General regisgtration and ID like 90% of Industrial Western countries have? thats unamerican!!! Mah Freedoooooom!!!
  12. I had an incredible credit rating. Until I let my old man get a bike under my credit as a gift. Which he decided he didn't want after a week.
  13. 1 in 20 is actually 5%.... just saying
  14. never heard of these "credit score" things
  15. Are you Judith Kendall? No.
    You sure you're not Judith Kendall? Yes!
    ...
    Yeaah you're Judith Kendall.
  16. Well Im still looking for skilled workers Welders, Pipefitters and Platers and give a crap about private economy, All Im looking at is the skills...the rest is not my cup of tea
  17. Imagine if the US govt had to have credit checks as much as the people they manage. Its like stupid hicks 20 trillion in debt demanding that the people they steal money from pay their debts. Seriously.. Think about it... Stupid people run the world, they target the lowest threats over the highest to the many which is themselves, and they upload dangerous secrets on the internet so they need to hire cyber baby sitters which repeatedly fail losing billions-trillions to hackers of rival nations. Ever spied on politicians or government agents of agencies like DOD? They drink fuck tons of alcohol, do what they want, and act like you're the threat.

    Note.. Uploading dangerous secrets I.E Classified weapons and then needing to hire cyber security? Is like shitting on the floor so you need to hire a janitor. They're stupid.. We have the technology to twilight bark drones with microwave hard-drive self destruct technology if they stray from their course from military checkpoints. The reason they upload on the internet? Defense agencies hope it gets stolen. So they can steal tax to research contradictions and put them on the internet also. BONUS PROFITS FROM THE STUPID LIVESTOCK. Its just good business.
  18. i gonna change my name to something unique to something like hiffuhdwafcunomouhgfyjmmkiyfffchiyfhhjkkkihjiubzsaefubjfyimhijol oliver.
