Ok, so, telling lenders they cannot vet lenders is not reasonable.

Our critiques of credit scores does not automatically mean we want them abolished in favor the previous wink and a handshake.

But American credit scores don't measure your likelihood to pay back debts, they measure the likelihood of a lender to make money off of you. Those are nearly, but not quite, the same thing, and our current system, as the previous poster said, leads to a lifetime of debt obligations.

What we want is for life to not be dependant on debt.
