Secret credit score

Here's the link to an article that I just read on msn money about "secret" credit scores and how we should get our lawmakers to make it so that we as consumers get the rights we deserve when it comes to our credit.

Re: Secret credit score

Good article.  Not only should we have a right to see the scores, but I have long believed that we should have the right to know the minimum score requirement before applying for any credit account or loan.  Why waste and inquiry on something when you could have determined for your yourself before you even applied that you will not meet the score requirements.  This would also save money for the creditors since they would not have to weed through as many applications.  If creditors/lenders are not going to be up-front about their minimum score requirements, then we should not be punished for having inquiries on our report.
