@ Baker –
Thanks! I actually didn’t know that cause I have only had experience with companies that do use your credit. I can see why the industry is heading that way so the best solution isn’t to search for a company that doesn’t use credit… the best solution is to have GOOD credit :)

@ Hank –
Yeah, I should have mentioned that. It’s what I was thinking when I mentioned job search. Apparently bad credit means you might be more willing to sell government secrets to pay off your creditors!

@ Roger –
Yup, very good analogy. It is kind of like a de facto “person litmus test.” Don’t have anything to gauge the person? Ehh… let’s use a credit report? Sure!

Thank you all three for stopping by and adding some additions to my post!

I’m always surprised at just how many different organizations use your credit score. It kind of reminds me of the SATs; most colleges agree that you can’t base your judgment of a potential student just on the SAT score, but it’s just so easy to use a readily available number as a proxy in making a decision.

The US Military uses credit reports as a criteria when they are determining if you can have a security clearance (secret, top secret, etc.). For many jobs in the military, you cannot have bad credit or severe debt and have a high clearance.

Good Article!

There are still a few insurance companies that don’t use credit scores, but you do have to search around and ask when getting quotes. I talked to my current insurer and he told me they don’t use them by default, but he expects the whole industry to head that way in the next few years.
