Do Something About It

On the heels of Experian's move that now makes it impossible to know all three of your credit scores, here is a great article that addresses what we can do about it. The laws, regulations, and lack of protection in this country continue to errode the responsible consumer's ability to be treated fairly.

My apologies for this ultimatum-type statement, but if the way consumers are being treated pisses you off, do something about it! By making this statement to you, I now have a responsibility to walk the walk and take action myself. It's great that I let you know how screwed up the system is from time to time, it would be nice to do something about it. This article has fantastic real world solutions.

Whether you take action or not, this is one of the best articles I have seen because it gives a great explanation of where consumerism has brought us and and our only real recourse.
