Where does my money go?

Before you start looking up bankruptcy information, you really should know where your own money goes.  If you can’t account for your paycheck cent for cent, there is really no way you can unequivocally state that you qualify for bankruptcy.

How do I use my credit cards?

If you use your credit cards for every purchase, even groceries and gum, it does not mean you are going broke.  Using plastic as your first means of payment is not wise, but if you are able to pay off the balance each month or at least meet minimums plus a bit extra, you are not broke.

If you use credit cards because you have no money at al other than credit, you might want to take a more serious look at bankruptcy.

Do I stick to my budget?

Often when finances are out of control, it is just a symptom of a larger problem.  Money is by nature unruly.  Unless you put a written plan down on paper to control it, those dollars will run wild.

Budgeting can be a fix to many financial problems which preempts bankruptcy.

What assets do I stand to lose?

Bankruptcy does not mean you get to discharge your debt and keep your fat savings account.  If you have many assets before going into bankruptcy, you will only retain a very small portion to help you start over when you emerge from the other side.

If you have large retirement accounts, college savings funds, or other savings, the bankruptcy court will order their liquidation to repay as many of your creditors as possible.

How old am I?

Age is actually a huge consideration. If you

Some people say that credit protection insurance is a scam, and holds no benefits for the end user. In order to know the details, you must read on.

In order to begin with, I feel it is necessary to have a basic knowledge of what actually is credit or identity theft? Well, it is not something complicated, and can be understood easily. When you somehow lose your personal information, and it goes in wrong hands, you can become a possible victim of identity or credit theft.

The negative elements in the society try to steal the personal information of innocent people, and exploit them by making false transactions on their names, and sometimes change the address to route products that they have ordered on the internet. So you must always stay alert, and to be on the safe side, should make use of the credit protection insurance, so that in case of any loss, you might receive compensation from the agency that you have recruited for your protection.

Although, a lot of credit card companies are also offering these services, but a question still arises in the minds of the concerned that is it worth registering with a credit protection insurance agency?

LOTS of people around the internet have lots of things to say about the latest twists and turns in Europe. I’ve been letting events percolate over the last few days and trying to take a broader view. You should all know, by the way, that the print edition’s coverage of the ongoing crisis has been excellent and very thorough (see especially this, and this). Buttonwood and Charlemagne have done a good job tracking the blow-by-blow.

In terms of the latest twists and turns, there are a few key questions. One issue is the solvency of various governments. Things became messy when Germany pressed for talks about debt restructuring in troubled economies, which spooked markets, especially with regard to Ireland, which had only recently announced a big jump in the cost of supporting its banks. Ireland didn’t want a rescue and didn’t think it actually needed one; it thought it could accept the austerity necessary to handle its debts, daunting as the prospect seemed. Maybe it could have at lower yields, but markets became nervous as yields rose a bit, which pushed yields up further.

By now, you probably know that most sites offering you a free credit report are doing it in the hopes of persuading you to sign up for credit-monitoring services that are far from free. But did you know that the free credit report scams are steadily being replaced by the even more enticing free credit score con? This isn’t surprising: A free credit report can give you a lot of information about your open credit card balances, total amount of debt, and any missed or late payments in your past, but it doesn’t give you your actual three-digit credit score. This is the score that mortgage lenders rely on when determining whether you qualify for a mortgage loan and at what interest rates. This, in other words, is the number that you, and countless other consumers, want.

Free Credit Score?

Unfortunately, the companies that offer credit scores charge consumers for them, usually about $15. But if you scan the Internet, you’ll see Web sites with such names as FreeCreditScore.com, promising to give you your score at no charge. But be careful: Most of these sites are little more than tricks to get you to pay for a credit-monitoring service that you most likely don’t need. Here’s how the most popular of these sites, FreeCreditScore.com, works: You only get your free credit score if you provide your credit card information and agree to sign up for a free trial of the credit-monitoring service provided by Experian, the national credit bureau behind FreeCreditScore.com.

Watch Those Free Trials

This sounds legitimate, right? After all, what’s the harm of a free trial? Here’s the trick: If you don’t cancel the credit-monitoring service after the free-trial period ends, you’ll be charged a fee of $14.95 on your credit card. If you still forget to cancel the service, you’ll be charged the same amount the following month. Experian, it seems, is counting on busy consumers to forget to cancel their service once the trial period ends. Many consumers might barely notice the fairly low $14.95 charge on their crowded credit card statements. Yes, it’s a rather devious way for the company to make some profit.

Go With the Truly Free Site

Unfortunately, there is no way for consumers to get their credit scores from sites that legitimately offer them for free, with no strings attached. However, you can get your free credit report, without any tricks, at AnnualCreditReport.com. You’re entitled to one copy of each of your three credit reports – maintained by Experian, TransUnion and Equifax – every 12 months. Take advantage of this offer, and avoid the FreeCreditScore or FreeCreditReport scam artists.
