Appearing in CNBC on November 4, 2025, Ryan Ermey talks to Chi Chi Wu, Director of Consumer Reporting and Data Advocacy at the National Consumer Law Center about how rent payments have become a consideration on a growing number of American credit reports. Wu warns that for certain renters, the risk of reporting a missed or late payment can render these programs’ benefits moot.
“Those late payments show up on your credit report, and it’s like the kiss of death for landlords.”
Chi Chi Wu, a senior attorney at the National Consumer Law Center.
