Credit History and Equal Opportunity Who gets credit and why?

Credit Credit defined- The granting of money or something of value in exchange for a promise of future repayment. Today’s focus is on who gets financial credit and why. Why do people want credit? Credit allows people to buy something now and pay in the future.

Creditworthiness Credit history is compiled by rating agencies also known as credit bureaus. They collect the information and in turn, sell it to businesses so the business can assess risk and decide whether to issue credit and how much to charge for that credit.

Credit Report Credit Bureaus gather the credit history of individuals and compile it into a credit report. Big Three credit bureaus- Equifax, Experian, TransUnion. They gather payment information and sell the reports to businesses who have a legally valid reason to view it. For example if you apply for a credit card, car loan or want to rent an apartment your credit report will be pulled.

Credit Advisory Team Team members evaluate borrower cards Use your knowledge and refer to the Credit Cheat Sheet Cross out information that can’t be used, give evidence why

What challenges did your team face in making the evaluations? Evaluate and Explain Who gets credit and why? What challenges did your team face in making the evaluations? Whom did your team select and why? Report out & look for overlaps Pass out borrower cards to each group. Allow them time to mark out what can’t be used, and discuss who should get credit and why. Then show each slide and ask each group to report out as their list of people are presented. Note that there are overlaps. Tell all students to look for names their group has in common with other groups and see if they came to the same decision.

Discussion Questions Was anyone surprised about what info you could not use? Why do you suppose sex and marital status can’t be used? Would you be surprised to learn that all the info on Handout 1 used to be legal to use in deciding who gets credit?

Which passage is easier to understand, the one above or below? Why? Factors used to evaluate credit have changed over time and fairly recently. Congress passed laws in 1974 and 1976 (more than a decade after the Civil Rights Act) to prevent discrimination in lending on the basis of sex, marital status, race, religion, ethnicity, or national origin. These are together known as the Equal Credit Opportunity Act.

Tell students each group will now receive a page from this booklet Tell students each group will now receive a page from this booklet. Pass out pages and have students read and discuss.

Have groups report out the topic addressed on their page and answer the questions on visual 3. Answers will vary for question 1 but may discuss how discrimination based on marital status or pregnancy or possible pregnancy was once allowed. Possible answers for question 2- Illegal to discriminate based on race/ legal to consider income

Who produced this handbook? Who is the likely target audience? Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System for the general public/consumers One of the duties of the Federal Reserve System is to regulate banks. This handbook was meant to educate the public about their rights. Know your rights. Who produced this handbook? Who is the likely target audience?

Credit and Cosigning Groups now switch jobs- instead of working for a credit bureau they now work for a Major Auto Finance company focused on selling as many cars as possible. This slide is for the optional extension regarding cosigning.

Sell More Strategy Grant loans to pairs of people Review Borrower Cards Choose 4 pairs of people to get loans (each pair get 1 loan) Maximize number of loans- (pair a strong credit history with a weak one)

Discussion Do companies ever allow one person to “pair up” with another to get a loan in real life? Cosigner- a person with a better credit score and sometimes a longer credit history agrees to be a second signer or back up and takes responsibility for the debt.

Cosigning Pros Cons Allows one access to credit Helps one build credit Makes one libel for another’s debt Can wreck a person’s credit if loan is not repaid
