Well that’s exactly the point.

There was another recent article here on cartels that suck small amounts of blood from lots of people. Too small for anyone to individually care but collectively a lot!

What’s particularly insulting is that credit scores are commoditized - they are free to go check. Technically it’s vantage score vs FICO but generally the same and definitely not worth $150.
