1. A 25 yo's credit score being 'bad' doesn't mean that much

If you have only a few accounts and/or if none are long standing (both logical when you're 25), and/or if your utilization of your available credit is relatively high (like over 30%) ... your credit score is not going be very good. You add like one screw up of being 30 days past due ... it's gonna be bad.

2. It can also be used to hide racial bias

I'd be surprised if non-minorities didn't get in w lower scores on average.

8. +1.

Atlanta, GA: she had a 808 credit score but it still took her 3 tries to refinance her house — and she had to find a non-white mortgage broker to do it

3. Is a go-fund-me effort legal for a new member of congress?

Americans could buy you an apartment. Probably would.

5. And yet they keep raising the rent...Soon the only people who can rent at all will be billionaires.

6. Unfortunately, corporations have bought up so many properties and are totally ripping people off

DC is expensive. They should've been happy you even considered their place. If you could pay up front, they wouldn't give a shit about your credit. Can you get a co-signer for a different place? I wouldn't want to live there anyway after being lied to. Please make this one of your pet projects. We're all going through the same crap. Something good will happen for you. Don't get discouraged. We're behind you.

7. I would guess the MAGA people didn't elect this guy with bad credit.

All the GOOD people in his district elected him.

9. Well that is one way to get attention

nothing new other than maybe a non-refundable fee. Congress critters have long had a problem affording/finding housing in DC. Which is why many in the past/present have shared housing.

10. This business of charging people for a credit check to rent is outrageous.

A person looking for an apartment can spend hundreds of dollars on credit checks. If someone pays for a credit check, they should at least get the printed results of that credit check.
