Please take our online survey!

We’d like your feedback on the use of alternative data to improve access to credit. Alternative data sources used to widen the scope of consumers’ credit eligibility include rent payments, mobile phone and cable TV payments, bank deposits and social media history. Consumer Action is studying this issue now and will be reporting on it in a future issue of Consumer Action News.

We are looking for your input on this short, four-question survey. Please click here to take the survey now. (It will take less than two minutes.)  

We want to hear from you!
