Closed 13 signatures

What the petition asks

The Government should regulate credit rating agencies to ensure that there is an accessible way for all people to clear their bad credit history.
Giving everyone the opportunity to start fresh means everyone will get a chance and all be in it together to kick start the economy. A lot of individuals have got bad credit and great ideas. People with bad credit are getting mentally sick feeling depressed and feeling like a nobody as there is no route for them. Covid-19 will and already has affected a lot of people.

We need to be in this together and support each other.
