Sylvia Miller, a married, but separated woman, wanted tobuy a pair of loveseats from a retail furniture store. The storeoffered to finance the transaction through Public Loan Company.Later Public refused to extend credit to Miller unless herapplication was a joint application with her ex- husband. Thestated reason was that her income was not high enough for theloan. They refused to consider as income sources her alimonyand child support. Are the actions to Public legal? Explain.Hit: Married women could only obtain credit with theirspouses and some types of income such as alimony and child supportwere not considered legitimate sources of income for unmarriedwomen.
