Pass a legislation to protect citizens economical capabilities to buy and trade. Protect the data due to the outbreak of COVID19 and the enforcement of been in self isolation and off work by the compulsory closures of non essentials working places.
It’s a matter of citizen's civil rights who’ll need their credit score preserved to the times to come and be able to keep their economical right to buy and trade. Due to the outbreak of COVID19 and government enforcement of closure of non-essentials working places, people wont be able to keep their normal income to pay their bills and will end up degrading their credit score consequently their capability to buy and trade affecting heavily the economy recovery time to come.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
The preparation and scoring of credit reports is a matter for individual credit reference agencies in cooperation with lenders, not the Government or Parliament. The UK's three credit reference agencies have all issued statements and advice about what people should do if they are facing financial difficulties as a result of the outbreak. You can find these here:
TransUnion: www.transunion.com/covid-19
Equifax: www.equifax.com/about-equifax/covid-19-and-your-credit-score/
Experian: www.experian.co.uk/consumer/help-discover/discover/guides/supporting-you.html
