Looming government shutdowns have become to most people another episode of 'The Boy Who Cried Wolf.' Both sides square off swearing that they won't compromise, but in the end a last minute deal averts the crisis. This time, however, could be different. The last time the government was shut down was in 1996 for 28 days, as a result of a standoff between Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich and President Bill Clinton.

The MIB also falls under the Fair Credit Reporting Act and this means that they have the same responsibility as a credit bureau for maintaining accurate information in your file. The MIB claims to only maintain a file on about 15 to 20 percent... Read more →

Most people have become thoroughly annoyed with so called 'free credit' report offers. Virtually all of these offers require your credit card number and enrollment in a 'trial membership.' If you don't remember to cancel, you end up taking on yet another monthly obligation (about $10 to $15 monthly). A couple of years ago I wrote an article on how to get your credit report for free without a trial membership. Today I am going to take things a step further and share with you a couple of ways to get your credit score and credit monitoring for free (again... Read more →
