    All of that is technically true, but still kind of a shit policy

    Your complaint is with lenders then, not credit agencies. If someone misuses a tool, its not the fault of the toolmaker, but the person using the tool. Would you blame a hammer manufacturer because it is really crappy at driving in screws? I would hope not. You’d be upset at the person using the hammer to try to hammer in screws.

      If the credit agency adjusts your score downward and then reports me out as “less credit worth” then my beef is the business that is effectively slandering me.

      If the tool reports inaccurate information, the toolmaker is at fault.
