2011 – The effect on credit scores and debt. Now that 2011 is over, we can take a look at how people did with their credit over the year. According to the Arizona Republic, the news isgood…and bad. Across the country, credit scores actually dropped eight points to fall to an average of 660. In Arizona,which has tended to run below the national average, this year was no exception with the average score at 656. The problem with scores like these is that people will pay more for things like higher interest on mortgages and higher rates for car loans and healthinsurance. |

What Does ‘Credit Repair’ Really Mean? In these times, with so much information available, it canbe hard to distinguish what certain words mean. Several years ago, repairing credit simply meant fixing a problem thatwas real, or disputing an error in credit reporting that was damaging, but nottrue. Fixing a real problem has alwaysbeen a good idea and hopefully, by doing this, one learns how the problemoccurred and understands how to avoid making that mistake again. Disputing incorrect information and having itcorrected is also a good way to repair credit. |

Taken from a facebook Post:
There once was a blind girl who hated herself because she was blind. She hated everyone except her loving boyfriend. He was always there for her. She told her boyfriend, "If I could see the world, I'd marry you". One day someone donated a pair of eyes to her. When the bandages came off, she was able to see everything, includi...ng her boyfriend. He asked her, "Now that you can see the world, will you............ marry me?" The girl looked at her boyfriend and saw that he was blind. |

Understanding your credit report
I have seen a number of articles that try to diagram and
explain all the parts of a credit report.
They’ll tell you a report is broken down into the following categories:
1.) Identifying information.
2.) Account details.
3.) Credit Inquiries.
4.) Public records and collections.
5.) Positive and negative accounts.
These are well intended articles, designed to help people
understand important information and may have helped some people. However, with the way credit reports are
formatted, even having this information can be of limited value. |

Credit and Divorce Joe and Jane recently divorced. Their divorce decree stated that Joe would pay the balances on their three joint credit card accounts .Months later, after Joe neglected to pay off these accounts, all three creditors contacted Jane for payment. She referred them to the divorce decree, insisting that she was not responsible for the accounts. The creditors correctly stated that they were not parties to the decree and that Jane was still legally responsible for paying off the couple’s joint accounts. |

I am often asked "how do I rebuild my credit after a short sale, foreclosure or bankruptcy"? The answer is simple..."Begin right away!" Normally, there will be a waiting period before you will be able to qualify for financing for your next home. During that "waiting period", it is important that you be sure that you are working to maximize your credit score. I recommend these three steps: - NEVER make a late payment...NEVER! One late payment can affect your credit score up to 100 points!

INFORMATION: Quick Fix vs Credit Restoration This week is about being informed and having therightinformation. Too many people are lured in to companies that promise too much. Either they promise they can remove all negative items, even if these items are legitimate, and/or they can do it in record time. The problem with signing up with these companies is that they can charge a lot of money for something most people can do for themselves. The other problem is not facing up to past behavior which got you into this situation in the first place. |
