Nowadays it’s pretty simple for a car dealership to run a credit check or to apply for a credit card, but how was this done and where was this info stored in the pre-information age?
In: Technology
They called a phone number and told them your info and they got credit info back.
Before that it was a mail based process.
Before that it was all based on whether the local bank would lend to you. Because they knew you and knew your income.
