19,178 Identity Theft Victims Per Day - Are You One Of Them?


Identity theft statistics are shocking. And we are told that it will only become worse, before it gets any better. Are you likely to be affected?

Credit Damage: Getting Compensated for Your Loss


Until recently lawyers for victims of credit damage had little possibility to collect for damages beyond medical treatment, lost wages and property loss. Insurance companies threw up their hands in sympathy, claiming victims can only be compensated for what can be measured ? tangible goods and services. But, what happens when the victim has lost considerable time from work, the family bank is broke and monthly payments on mortgages, car loans and credit cards payments are missed? Regardless of the haggling between lawyers and insurance companies, it?s the credit victim who ends up having to live with a bad credit rating.

3 Ways to Improve Your Credit Score by 50 Points In Less Than 30 Days


In Less Than 30 Days. "What can you do to increase that set of three numbers on your credit report that can be so important with your financing?" I came across this question as I was surfing discussion groups the other day.  Check out my answer: Dear Friend, Here are 3 steps I used to take my credit score from 592 (horrible credit) to 762 (perfect credit) almost overnight.  If you?re interested in improving your credit rating quickly, you?ll find this story helpful: In 1995 I made a decision that would ruin my perfect credit history.  I quit my salary job to become an insurance salesman.  The job paid commission only.  Within a few months I lost everything - house, car, credit rating and my self respect. By the end of 1996 I was living with my mom, all my credit accounts were severely past due,  and I was paying 22% interest on a broke-down green Geo Storm...I was a real loser.  Then, in 1997, I became a banker.  I didn?t know it at the time, but this would turn out to be the break I needed to eliminate my credit problems forever.  During my seven years as a banker, I came across several legal and highly effective ways to improve my credit rating.  As a result, I was able to increase my credit scores by an average of 170 points.   Here?s what I did: Step #1: After spending hundreds of dollars on credit repair services that didn?t work, I found out how to get negative accounts removed on my own.   Basically, I wrote letters to the collection agencies requesting proof that the accounts were mine.  89% of the time they had no proof that the bad accounts belonged to me.  So I was able to get them deleted from my credit file. Step #2:  I opened new accounts with high credit limits and kept the balances low.   I discovered that if you keep your available credit limits high and only use 10% to 30% of the credit you have available, your credit score will improve dramatically.  Step #3:  Next, I added accounts with years of perfect payment history to my credit file.  This step took my credit score from 647 to 762. While you can certainly add seasoned accounts to your credit file for free, there are companies that claim they can do it for a fee.   The problem is, they charge between $2,000 and $2,500 per account.  If you want a 700+ credit score you?ll need 3 to 4 of these accounts. That equates to a cost of $6,000 to $10,000.   (You can conduct a search on your favorite search engine for companies that offer this service.)  While there are several highly effective steps you can take to increase your credit scores by as much as 200 points, these are the main ones...And here?s the good news:  Each step can be completed in less than 30 days.

To repair your bad credit does not necessarily mean that you now have a good credit, absolutely not.

4 Steps to Creating Good Credit


As a consumer you?ve learned the importance of establishing a good credit rating with your lenders. Whether you are shopping for a new home or auto, or searching for the best deals on insurance, your credit worthiness will be judged by your credit rating or credit score.

Beware of Falling Minimum Payments


If you opened a credit card statement recently and were pleasantly surprised to find that your minimum payment due was lowered, don?t be so quick to ?jump for joy?. What may appear as a small boost to your monthly budget is actually the rock that can weigh you down in debt for a lifetime.

Convenience Can Be Costly


You?ve just opened your credit card bill and attached to your statement you find a ?convenience check? included. It may already be filled out with a dollar amount such as $300, $500, or even $1,000. Your mind fills with ideas of what you could buy with this ?instant? money. A new summer wardrobe, a nice dinner and tickets to a concert, a weekend getaway.

Debit Card vs. Credit Card, What Are The Differences ?


Ah, the ?good old days?. If you are a baby boomer, like me, then you probably remember how important it was to rush to the bank on payday. You had to get there before the teller lanes closed so that you could have your ?cash allowance? for the week. Otherwise, if you needed cash you had to write a check, then go to the bank, and ?cash? the check for real cash.

How Healthy Is Your Credit


There?s only one way to discover the ?health? of your credit. You need to examine your credit report. Your credit report is your ?consumer identity? that potential lenders will use to judge your credit worthiness.

What is a Credit Card?
A credit card allows you to buy things even though you might not have the money to pay for it right away. The company that gave you the card lets you spend up to an agreed sum and then makes additional money available to you as you pay off what you've spent. You must pay at least a minimum amount by the due date, generally once every month. You will pay a finance charge or interest on any amount you do not pay by the due date.

Applying for Credit Cards Online
In the olden days, about 10 years ago, before the internet, consumers would have to fill in applications for credit cards, loans, mortgages and so on by hand. It's hard to believe now, but this lengthy process was the norm, with requests for extra documentation and references going backwards and forwards, until finally the application was accepted or rejected. These days with the advent of the Internet an application can validated, accepted and a credit card or loan offered with minutes.
