Code kiddies. Look inside your wallet. Are you using a debit card.
If you are, punch yourself in the face. 
If the debit card is in your name, take the other fist that isn’t sore from cranial contact and punch your nagen. 
Look, a semi pro CS major can just take Experian’s, Trans Union’s and Equifax’s credit reports and write on them like you write on paper. This should be obvious, but let us review if this is not obvious.

Associate 1’s to your credit report. credit bureaus use 1’s for on-time payment of an amount owed between $15.oo-$2000 paid-on-time, 2’s for 30-days late, etc. #Duck9

A Jedi can just take Experian’s credit report and write on it like you write on paper using #PObox105281

So, what are you going to “write”
Tell me in the comments what exactly you’re going to do
