These behemoths are a major vertebrae in the backbone of the US economy. Without Equifax, Transunion, Experian and Dun & Bradstreet a huge portion of economic activity would come to a grinding halt. The vast majority of sales of housing, cars, computers, phones, hot tubs, etc. are all reliant on on-demand credit scoring. We have made serious strides in regulating them, but disbanding them would be a financial disaster. Regulation has actually made the problem a bit worse since it has essentially turned the credit reporting industry into an oligopoly, further centralizing consumer data collection so attackers only have to hit a single target to get almost everything.

It's not your data. It's the Banks data about you.
Do you have private notes about people you've met? Same thing happens with banks. Banks keep notes on how much you repay loans, how many loans you have, etc. Etc.
And the fact is, this data is very reliable. Prime Mortgages are paid back reliably. Subprime mortgages are not.

More drama, more business. Supply and demand.

Clearly he couldn't manage something as simple as negotiating with the other attorney. I would assume that two third parties would have less bias with each other than two direct individuals.

Now both and your ex have to pay extra just to pay taxes. Someone's not doing their job.

Never trust verbal agreements. If it ain't on paper, it didn't happen.

After much research and analysis, it has been decided by peer assembly that the source of the circumstantial dilemma cannot be resolved in a timely matter without increased investment capital. The much needed funds are required for necessary strategic infrastructure materials to facilitate the required cohabitation of respective individuals while they perform synchronous thought experiments.

Tldr; we all think you should buy us some weed and munchies and we'll think about it.

Having a garden on your property can raise the value of the property and this raise annual property tax.
