It’s beyond infuriating that the credit reporting agencies are allowed to sell our data — you know, the same assholes who grant us a year of worthless “free credit monitoring” when their lax security measures allow our data to be hacked.

Getting the average American to think about this for more than two seconds before their eyes begin glazing over would be a challenge, so I’m glad CFPB is doing this on our behalf anyway.
