equifax/transunion: we're going to hold all your personal information in a database to "determine your credit worthiness." don't worry, it's totally secure- WHOOPS, we got hacked! guess everyone has your personal information and phone number now

equifax/transunion: oh, look! we don't care why, but there are "too many different phone numbers" being reported for you. we're lowering your credit score

me: sigh 🤷
