<\/a><\/p>\n[2] While you cannot help your age and there are laws against discriminating against ageism, age is in the credit score. Age of accounts is in the credit score.<\/p>\n
If you are 17.9 years old, it will be very difficult to start-up (pun intended to connect to business starting up) your credit. Credit score establishment will be verrrrry difficult. {3} If you are wealthy with zero debt. You will actually have bad credit. If you have a mortgage paid off and own 100% of your home, you FICO score drops like a rock.<\/p>\n (4) The majority of people think a debit card helps you only spend money that you have in your account. A debit card is a huge fee generator that generates revenue for banks. A debit card is a really bad credit card. Debit cards have ‘authorization holds’ where you will over draw. Overdraws result in overdraft fees.<\/p>\n [5] Terms of Service. The reason that the venture capital firm presents you with a 35 page contract is that there are terms of service written to help the VC. Ditto banks. Banks write Terms of Service to benefit you.<\/p>\n {6} Rule of 72. Before the Theory of Relativity, Albert Einstein was figuring out how compound interest works. 72 divided by the interest rate equal ‘time it takes for money (or debt) to double’. Guess what?! Interest on a credit card compounds pretty fast. And you know what is more profitable than a bank’s credit card?! You guessed it. Debit cards are more profitable.<\/p>\n (7) HR627. House of Representatives bill 627 was made into a law. The Credit Card Card Act was meant to eliminate predatory practices banks use against us. But, guess what… banks have some really great lawyers and lobbyists too. And these banks read all about #cs183law and engineer products to maximize profit.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n {8} World Wide Web. On your mobile phone, you can access webpages. But web page technology has not yet come to the credit industry. If you would like to access your own credit information, www access is very close to impossible.<\/p>\n (9) Data point. 31 American postage stamps affixed to thirty-one ‘#10 envelopes’ means you will adhere to and actually leverage a 1970s law written to protect you. Yup, the Fair Credit Reporting Act<\/p>\n Jogging is just-do-it.
