A person such as myself will never get the opportunity to bury themselves out of the financial situation they are in if they can't get a decent/any job to make sure this happens. Employers concerned with responsibility issues should rely on a criminal background check instead. I think that it makes no sense not to hire based on a consumer/credit report.

I have been unemployed for the past 7 months, and I am trying to survive on unemployment checks (my benefits have actually already run out, and I am now on an extension). I am in quite a bit of debt, and I'm sure my credit report looks terrible. I really hope that my inability to pay bills (because I don't have a job) is preventing me from getting another job (so that I can pay my bills) ... it's a catch 22, and it's not fair or just at all.
