Overview
When Carlo Kobe boarded his plane from Germany to Boston for his freshman year at Harvard in 2019, the words "credit score" were neither in his vocabulary nor on his to-do list. But all of that changed when he attempted to get a phone plan and was denied due to his lack of credit history. In the following days, more rejections followed. He attempted to apply for various credit cards to build his score but with neither a cosigner, any existing credit history, or an appetite for a large security deposit, Discover, Bank of America and Chase all rejected him outright.
