The struggling economy has left many Americans saddled with bad credit reports, the same reports could also leave them unemployed.

Loudy Appolon, a Florida woman is suing the University of Miami for firing her before she could begin her job because of a bad credit report that includes a default on her student loans and a car repossession.

“It was devastating, I could not believe that they had did that because I just actually quit my other job in the impression that I was going to get this job. and I wa us told not to bother coming in,” Loudy said.

Her lawyer, Sam Miller said that the University of Miami used a credit report that had nothing to do with her ability to do the job and her trustworthiness.
