Why Debt Consolidation Can Be A Good Idea

While I was gathering facts for this article, I was quite surprised to find some of the issues I thought were settled are actually still being openly discussed about ways to pay off debt. For some people, debt consolidation (consolidating all existing debts into a single loan) can be a good idea. It depends on your level of debt, income and current repayments, but lower monthly repayments are often possible. [more...]

Read This: Unemployment + Bad Credit = No Job
Yes you read right! If you are unemployed and have bad credit then you have another hurdle to get past: employers unwilling to higher you because of bad credit. It’s important to note that this is the kind of bad credit where the potential employee has shown reckless irresponsibility with their financial life thus making the employer unwilling to trust them with sensitive information. Here in DC, that also means losing a security clearance-even after you’ve received it. More on that later. [more...]

How Credit Card can builds a good Credit Rating
Credit cards are a fact of life. You need one to make a hotel or plane reservation, or to rent a car, even if you plan to pay cash. Many stores require a credit card to accept your check.

But people who have never had credit or need to repair a poor credit history may not qualify for a regular credit card. For them, a secured credit card may be the only way to establish, or re-establish, credit. [more...]
