I always assumed credit scores were an integral and historic part of the American financial system.
They were not, they are very recent，most of your parents didn’t have credit scores growing up, and as you can probably tell or at least intuit, it’s mostly just a b******* scheme for those with capital to accrue more capital by invading your privacy.
ahhhh so thats why in the late 80s you could start your checks at 1000+
Imagine someone handed you check #001 for $1000…would you really trust it?
Knowing that you can order checks with any number you want printed in them. I would trust it as much as i would trust a check with any other number. Maybe actually a little more than check #69420 or #58008.
