How to Create a Household Budget

Jun 28th, 2008 by Addy | 0

If you don’t have an actual “budget” in place for your household, you may be completely scared whenever you hear someone say they’re “making a budget”.

Do it Right!

Are you concerned about your credite A nationally recognized credit repair expert offers a step-by-step guide to getting started with your credit repair effort, and valuable advice on avoiding some common and costly mistakes.

The Need for Credit Repair

In 2003 congress passed an important amendment to the Fair Credit Reporting Act. The amendment, known as FACTA, required Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion to provide consumers with a free credit report, upon request, once every 12 months. This was meant to encourage consumers to examine their credit reports for errors. FACTA put a significant burden on the credit bureaus, and for good reason; 50% of all credit reports contain errors severe enough to cause consumers to pay premium interest rates on loans or even to be denied outright. This is a serious problem.
