Since credit is tightening up, it is very important to know what your rights are, under the Fair Credit Reporting Act!

Credit Scores - Where do you fit in? - 03/23/08 03:33 PM
So, how does your credit score? Are you an 800+. 750 - 799? 700-749? 650 -699? 600-649? 550-599? Under 550?
There is a Federal Law put into place, entitling a consumer to a free credit report every year - but these credit reports do not tell the consumer what their credit scores are. Credit Scores are not "freely" given out, that answer is going to cost you anywhere from $6 to $15 or so. Your credit score is determined from the credit report, along with several other factors, so it is very important to review your credit reports to make sure they are … (2 comments)

Welcome to CLEVELAND, Ohio - Lake Erie Lifestyles - 03/21/08 02:30 AM
It's my pleasure to Welcome YOU!
Cleveland, Ohio: full of rich, cultural heritage with affordable housing. In fact, a recent Forbes article tells us that Cleveland was ranked the 4th Best City in the United States to buy a home. Yes, the Cleveland Area has seen its share of the housing slow-down, plus numerous foreclosured, bank-owned homes saturating the market - but many states and major cities have, too. We're no different in that aspect, but Northeast Ohio is blessed to have world-renowned medical and educational facilities. Cleveland prides itself in world-class professional sports teams, the Cleveland Orchestra, numerous museums, large … (0 comments)
