Fighting
back and file a dispute with the credit report - by

- If you have become a victim of Identity Theft, it
probably wouldn't surprise you to learn that this crime is becoming
more prevalent. However, the fact that Identity Theft often involves
mail fraud, which is a federal offense, means that strong federal
sentencing guidelines are being applied to perpetrators of Identity
Theft.
Here are what you need to do to protect, correct, and rebuild your
credit.

what to consider
for your credit report -
Deciding to part ways can be an overwhelming
time. Whether you're considering a separation, moving away or filing
for divorce, it's important that you give your credit special
attention. Your credit can have a significant impact on your ability
to start this new chapter of your life with the resources you need.
Thinking About Cleaning up Your Credit? You
Might Think Again -
by
Amanda Bach
-
"Credit repair" as advertised on the
radio, TV, and Internet tends to be, at best, a waste of money and,
at worst, a scam that would simply defraud you or (perhaps worse)
involve you in fraud yourself. Even if a credit repair company is
legitimate, there's nothing they can legally
do that you can't do yourself at no cost. This is because
there really is no legal way to "repair" bad credit if the history
thereof is accurate--only time and ongoing responsible credit
management can do that.
Is Bankruptcy Right The Right Thing for You?
-
by

-
According to the credit
counseling and the National Foundation for Consumer Credit, some
experts recommend that if you cannot pay back outstanding consumer
debt in three to five years, bankruptcy may be the best option for
you (of course, that doesn't include long-term loans like mortgages,
which are normally repaid in 20-30 years). But bankruptcy isn't an
"easy" way out--depending on which kind you file, it can make it
difficult for you to obtain new credit for up to 10 years, a
consequence that must be weighed against the benefit of relief from
your debts.
