Obtaining landline to achieve better credit score?



Asked a question: https://money.stackexchange.com/questions/111164/virtual-landline-to-achieve-better-credit-score-is-that-a-worthy-investment

Got a reply.

Got some downvotes.
I find it fascinating that in 2019 era of surveillance, privacy awareness, GDPR, we ask you for a cookie, cannot visit a website because you are in the EU, people are freely giving away their home addresses: https://www.thephonebook.bt.com/person/
I really find it fascinating.

People are no longer using landlines. And yet there is some code in some computer system that gives you a number to be used in yet another computer system.

Atom Bank also does brokers only:  https://www.atombank.co.uk/~/docs/broker-list-mortgage.pdf I guess it's not about loving middle man. It's about avoiding high-maintenance guys like me LOL 😎 WOW, the bad-credit mortgage isn't that bad actually! Screenshot from: https://t.co/tsIeQcyUQP @atom_bank are you working with @heron_financial or @TORC24 because @BerkeleyGroupUK has only two preferred financial guys?

Open Source (transparent) Credit Score - why not make it clear?

2019, age of GDPR, privacy, surveillance, why not make your home address public? Check this out:  https://money.stackexchange.com/questions/111164/virtual-landline-to-achieve-better-credit-score-is-that-a-worthy-investment Me: On a personal note, I see gross deficiencies in the current credit score system and I'm planning to establish a new, transparent, open-source standard.
