    I used to work at a Blockbuster, I’m not sure I’d want to relive those days.

    My favorite was when customers would come in with the cards we mailed out letting them know they were in collections for a late return. something like $4.25 (yes we’d send people to collections for the cost of a rental) and they’d always have the same complaint “I’M TRYING TO BUY A HOUSE AND THIS IS DESTROYING MY CREDIT, REMOVE IT!” which I always did cause man…it was $4.25.

      Hot take - If you can’t pay for a damn video tape rental you can’t be trusted to pay your house loan.

        Yeah sorry I agree with you. Entire point of the credit system is to let people like mortgage lenders know how trustworthy you are. All you really need for a good score is to simply pay things off on time. If you ignore the small things, how will you treat the big things?
