Four million Americans denied credit — but hey, at least the credit bureaus are consistent… at being wildly inaccurate. You can have a flawless payment history, glowing income, and zero debt — and still end up flagged as “high risk” because some ancient account you closed in 2012 suddenly reanimated on your report like a financial zombie.
It’s like your credit file is written by someone speed-reading your life story while blindfolded. Want to buy a car? Nope. Rent an apartment? LOL. Finance a toaster? Not unless you want to pay 28% interest like a loan shark’s side hustle.
The system’s not just broken — it’s aggressively broken. And what’s worse, most people have no idea it’s even happening to them until they’re rejected for something basic, like internet service. If you want to see how deep the rabbit hole goes (and how many people are getting steamrolled in the name of “data”), this piece absolutely hits like a truck:

Read it. Scream internally. Then maybe consider suing the next time your credit score tanks because someone typed “2” instead of “0” somewhere in Equifax’s basement.
