What a great day. Good morning. I got blocked on Twitter by Finovate and I thought it would be a great chance to knowledge activate college consumers getting blocked from their Experian Trans Union and Equifax credit reports. <\/div>\n

Blocked. What’s this about?? Feeling like someone’s reading #FinTech<\/a> feeds? #Finovate<\/a> blocked me from access & isn’t transparent 🐳🐼🐥 pic.twitter.com\/GpRflurdSK<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n


\nKeep in mind I’ve covered this finTech conference for a tech blog called TechCrunch. As a consumer, you just don’t realize that credit industry execs are incredibly brazen. Experian, Trans Union and Equifax see Federal Trade Commissions nominal fines as a cost of doing business. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Not to sound like a YC mentee who’s read every scrap of YC content, but GET CREDIT LINE & info access WITHOUT THEIR PERMISSION<\/span><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n


\nFinTech is financial technology. But credit executives have engineered a system designed to have regular people like you, fail. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n


\n<\/span><\/div>\n

\n<\/span><\/div>\n
I’m not regular. I’m special. For example, my mentor who helped me be more shirtless more often is the founder of Mint. Aaron Patzer!<\/span><\/div>\n

\n<\/span><\/div>\n
It’s supposed to sound like “Dash” who is Mr Incredibles kid. Mr Incredible had a day job at an insurance company denying claims. <\/span><\/div>\n

Whether or not I’m a credit executive, I’ll let history decide. How high your FICO score, I will let you decide when you “fave” 14-20 tweets twitter.com\/larrychiang\/st\u2026<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n

Download<\/a> Twitter and search for specific things inside my 80,000 tweets. For example, Twitter search “larrychiang #fico748pt8”<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

A Jedi can just take Experian’s credit report and write on it like you write on paper using #PObox105281<\/a><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
\n<\/div>\n
Mahalo!<\/div>\n

\"image4.JPG\"
\nFor example, Twitter search “larrychiang <\/span>#PObox105281<\/a><\/font>“. I took this inside a Victoria’s Secret across from the Royal Hawaiian hotel<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n


\n<\/span><\/div>\n
Speaking of Victoria’s Secret… They’re super slutty about who they grant a $300 credit line to. <\/span><\/div>\n

\n<\/span><\/div>\n

\n<\/span><\/div>\n
For example, Twitter search “larrychiang #PObox16589<\/a>“<\/span><\/div>\n

\n<\/span><\/div>\n

\n<\/span><\/div>\n
Just make sure you mail them your new mailing address #PObox16589<\/a><\/font> and mail them payments to raise your FICO credit card credit score <\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
