Mr. Fisher – We publish our Financial Tip of the Week on Friday mornings. We will rewrite the piece you are concerned about with wording similar to what is highlighted below, when it is my turn again in the cycle. I don’t know what else we can do, nor do I fully understand what it is that you think we should do.
There is nothing wrong with employers looking at your credit score, if you give them permission.

Recently, I beat my head against a wall trying to get a straight answer from some wacky thing in your state called Mizzou.
Then, I remembered that, three years ago, I corresponded with your organization about a couple of your of items. Subsequently, you made corrections (but you put them on internet pages—separate from the actual articles’ internet pages—where they hardly do any good).
Anyway, could you find out what is going on in Columbia?
What is your correction policy, by the way?
