Video – Credit Report Errors – Step Three Is Dispute False Entries

May 21st, 2010

When you are dealing with credit report errors, after you first pull your reports, and then review them for inaccuracies, the third step is to dispute the false information to Equifax, Experian, Innovis, and Trans Union – the national credit reporting agencies.

The addresses to dispute can be found online but the safest approach is to use the address provided on each credit report that you pulled and then reviewed.

MARKET CLOSE: NZX 50 sinks to 9-mth low; MHI falls

May 19th, 2010

May 21 () – New Zealand shares fell, sending the NZX 50 Index to a nine-month low, as fear of contagion from Europe’s debt crisis and derailment of America’s economic recovery undermined appetite for equities. Jeweller Michael Hill International and children’s clothing chain Pumpkin Patch paced the decline.

The NZX 50 tumbled 61.33, or about 2%, to 3050.08, the sixth straight decline. Within the index, 43 stocks fell, three rose and four were unchanged, marking the session as one of the broadest slumps this year. Turnover was $113.7 million.

The relative strength index, or RSI, of the NZX 50 fell to 14 today on a scale that technical traders say a reading below 20 means a security is poised to rise.

The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index tumbled 3.9% in New York yesterday as fears of a U.S. slowdown

This is what consumers around the country face – people laugh and say “there is no way you can fight a giant mortgage company that has already foreclosed on your home!”

But when homeowners fight back – smartly and powerfully – when the mortgage companies feel the pain of answering for their evil deeds . . . the laughing stops….

You see people just assume . . . the mortgage companies just assume . . . that there is NOTHING you can do when a national mortgage company (you know – those “too big to fail” type of places?) decides to foreclose on you . . . and then decides to sue you to kick you out of your home.

If you dare to think out loud that there might be something you can do .
