Re: Slightly OT - Credit Reports

If you go shopping for car insurance they do a credit check even if you are going to pay cash.
This has bit people so many times the state of Utah is contemplating laws against it.

Their reasoning, I think, is it appears you suddenly need credit lines (whether home equity, credit card) for reasons that might include job loss, illness, etc. - with the potential risk of not being able to repay, especially, any unsecured credit lines.

I agree it sucks that this impacts your status in the eyes of lenders, especially in cases where you're "rate shopping" for a loan or where credit checks are run without your explicit consent. (That the crux of the whole opt-IN v. opt-out argument in the link I posted from the Electronic Privacy Information Center.)
