Getting my first apartment in Phoenix made me actually look at my credit report for the first time
The landlord pointed out a small medical bill I'd forgotten about from college that was dragging my score down by almost 40 points. Has anyone else had a surprise like that pop up during a big life change?

Forty points for one old bill? That's insane, it feels like the whole system is rigged. I had a similar thing happen with a library fine from a different state I never even lived in.

Wow, I used to brush off stuff like this as just mix-ups. But hearing how common it is, yeah, the system's totally broken.
