Media Outlet: MatchFinancial.com
Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 29 June
Query:
Americans, to their credit, are largely aware that a good
credit score equals good credit health.
With a solid credit score of 700 or higher, a financial consumer
represents a good credit risk to lenders and creditors.
But credit scores aren't everything. In fact, they're only three
numbers out of a menu of criteria lenders use to make credit
decisions.
Companies know that those three lone numbers don't tell your
entire credit history, thus creditors also use other criteria to
make decisions that impact financial consumers.
In this story, we're trying to determine what consumers should
know, beyond credit scores, that can swing credit decisions in
their favor. We'd like these questions answered.
1. Are credit scores the only factor when lenders make credit
decisions?
2. If not what other factors do they consider - and why? We're
trying to create a list here so the more the merrier.
3. What advice do you have for consumers to improve their
overall credit health - not just their credit scores?
4. What's the most overlooked non-credit score factor that
lenders consider, and why?
Thank you . . .
Requirements:
Credit experts, lending experts, money experts, debt experts,
consumer financial advocates

Query:
Three U.S. senators recently introduced a bill that would force
tech companies to give police access to their customers'
encrypted communications, if ordered by a court.
The Lawful Access to Encrypted Data Act would give law
enforcement agencies access to end-to-end encrypted
communications through court-ordered warrants. It also directs
the U.S. Attorney General to create a prize competition to award
participants who create a lawful access solution in an encrypted
environment, while maximizing privacy and security.
My questions:
-- Is this a good idea? How bad of a problem is the issue of
criminals using encrypted communications?
-- How would this work? How would companies circumvent their
end-to-end encryption?
-- What's the impact on general cybersecurity?
-- Are there any alternatives to this kind of legislation?
