It is an extremely embarrassing thing to have happen to oneself, so I assume, others like myself do not go telling anyone.

The issue is that while the credit rating system is utter bullshit - there is a LOT attached to it WRT life...

Basically if you have shitty credit, people look down on you.

I make 228K per year, but due to that issue, and regular life circumstances (divorce, etc) my credit is poor - and I just got denied a card from Chase, due to Equifax saying I owe Comcast $128 (for a device I returned to them - but they still are dogging my credit)

Credit industry needs to get ITS CREDIT up.

I've tried to return Comcast equipment that I'm not using, and then they ship me a new one a few days later. I think part of their business model is forcing you to buy equipment they decide you must have lost.
