Getting rid of credit checks as a deciding factor in hiring

Stop allowing companies to use credit backgrounds as a means of hiring people. In order to pay off debts owed, we have to have a job. No job, no debts paid.

Why is this important?

My name is Preston Chavers and I have been unemployed for over a year. I was recently denied work because of poor credit history and was denied work with a national insurance company. How does the employer expect people to clean up their credit history and pay off bills/loans if they cannot get a job and work to pay off their debt. This is a very unfair practice and it needs to be stopped. Please sign this petition and tell our policy makers to stop our companies from using a persons credit history as a deciding factor in hiring people.
