In Reply to: A company feels like if you keep your credit in good standing, then - Agree with checking

What does that have to do with transcription? Let's say your credit was bad or challenging, and an MT company wanted to check your credit report. Would you feel the same? Or would you question yourself as to why? I have excellent credit, but I would never give that info to a transcription company. You cannot compare a landlord renting you a home to a transcription company wanting to know something that has NOTHING to do with your job. You said, the only thing they are looking for is how you handle your credit. WHY? Are they gonna let me rent a car or home from them?
