So I got a bit of a bit of a problem that I'm trying to figure out how to navigate.

So I work in IT for a lot of different financial institutions and do a lot of security work form and everything.

And one of the things that's directly tied to my

employment is unfortunately my lovely credit score. No, it's not. Not Nati. It is if you're a

president of a bank, but not not tea. They're not going to kill you for not having a credit

score. Okay. They'll hurt you for having bad credit.

Right.

But not no credit.

Right.

And that's the problem I'm running into is that I've got credit.

I've had credit for, you know, if I had good credit for quite a while, but I recently, with a lot of the contracts I've been doing, with all the work I've been doing, I've actually been able to get a lot of stuff paid down. And the unfortunate thing is one of my oldest accounts that had was actually an auto loan. And I paid it off here recently. And so I'm like, cool, got the car paid off. All great. And I go and check my credit score and it dropped it below 700.

Yeah.

I'm like, what the heck?

Yeah.

Well, that's normal.

Right.

But the problem is with the contract of my employment, it's actually because they put it in the form of,

hey, if you can't manage your finances, then why do we give you access to

other people's finances to manage the servers that handle it?

How often do they check it?

Every six months.
