Here's an anecdote. After getting a "you are preapproved for a no-fee home equity line of credit" notice from my mortgage bank (a major nationwide chain whose name is easily recognized), I decided to take them up on it. Went over to their local office, talked with the loan rep. Gave him the usual info, when I got to the part about job and salary, I gave him my work phone. I then said "if you need someone to verify my employment, you'll need a different number." He kindly informed me that that wouldn't be necessary (I guess because we refi'd 10 months ago)! Voila, 100K credit line at prime, no fees, on the reassurance that I say I've got a job! Is this a great country or WHAT!<VBG> Feels good to have my own private piece of the Credit Bubble...Doug Noland would be so proud!<G>
