πŸ”§ Fix this

Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:

  1. A feature allowing users to manually trigger a credit report refresh or re-fetch if the initial attempt fails.
  2. A self-service portal for rental applicants to edit or delete submitted applications before they are processed by the landlord.
  3. An automated 24/7 support bot specifically for rental application technical errors to bypass time zone restrictions.
