Do not blame the messenger, HATE THE GAME. While I may mix metaphors, this Facebook note I am writing exposes the Game-within-a-game. By game I mean &#8220;shopping for a credit card&#8221;, &#8216;shopping for a mortgage&#8217; or [shopping for an automobile loan]. By game, I mean raising your credit score while shopping for a car loan versus the old way where shopping damages.<\/p>\n<p>This offer is good to Facebook friends who have liked at least 20 of my updates \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>NOTE: FTC will clarify their ruling but #LarryChiang is not selling or re-selling Experian, Trans Union Equifax credit data. I am merely adding in an email address to Experian credit report data, Trans Union credit bureau summary of you and Equifax&#8217;s credit report on you.

Mail the full credit reports to me in Palo Alto so that I can fax your credit report to lenders you are shopping at. Yes, I said Fax. Yes, I am tech savvy enough to speak at tech conferences.
