Creditors are checking out what you post to your Facebook and Twitter accounts. They’re checking out who your friends are and who the people are in your networks. </p>

<p>The presumption is that if your friends are responsible credit cardholders and pay their bills on time, you could be a good credit customer

<p>My D. recently friended me on Facebook. It was kind of a relief to see how little time she spends on it. (And great to see all the nice things she and her friends say to each other).</p>

<p>I didn’t realize I should be telling her to request a credit report on people before she adds them as friends. :)</p>
