New Credit Card Rules You Should Pay Attention To
Who is Anngie Jenkins, credit expert?
In 2004, with very little guidance and no experience, Anngie rebounded from a home foreclosure and bankruptcy following a job loss. She went from having damaged credit to having high FICO credit scores on all three credit reports. With hard work and determination, she succeeded in regaining control of her financial future.
She has used her experience to help family, friends and colleagues rebuild their credit and increase their FICO credit scores. Today, she is dedicated to helping others who have experienced financial difficulties and challenges in obtaining higher FICO credit scores reach their goals. “25 Ways to Increase Your FICO Credit Scores to 750” is her first eBook, offering practical, proven advice that’s quick, simple and easy for readers to digest.
Her website teaches you How To Increase Your Credit Scores to 750 or more.
Congress passed a law last summer designed to make credit cards a little more consumer-friendly. The rules take effect on Monday, February 22, 2010 and if you are not paying attention you could get burned.
Check out some of the new rules.
•Yes, the bank can still raise your interest rate.
•No, the bank cannot raise your rate or cancel your card because you're behind on another bill. (I really like this one.)
•Yes, it will be harder to get credit cards.
See what the article has to say about that last one. I've been saying it all along. I'll give you a hint: 750 or above credit scores.
Read the article below.

Her website teaches you How To Increase Your Credit Scores to 750 or more.
So, Experian is being sued for its deceptive FreeCreditReport.com ads. I'm not surprised about this this. I'm surprised consumers go to FreeCreditReport.com and/or Experian for annything; credit report or credit scores. This is not that place to get your free credit report nor your credit scores.
In my ebook, I share two important pieces of information, and that is:
1. Know where to purchase two of your FICO credit scores (including credit report).
All credit scores are not created equal. There are only two real places to get your unbiased, true FICO credit scores.
2. Know where to get your free credit report (FICO credit scores NOT included).
Federal law dictates that all consumers have access to their free credit reports. Do you know where to get yours?
Experian is NOT the place to go to get your credit report or FICO scores.

Kamau Quips: Commentary On Business and Life
As a consultant you may have to FIRE a client on the Day you realize they aren't willing to listen or do what you say.
If in marketing and commerce you prove to be clever don't be surprised when even smarter people want to join your endeavor.
The secret to success is simple. Lot's of dedication which cultivates your tremendous innate talent.
There's no ego in the word HERO. When you think of the aid and rescue efforts in Haiti you realize, there's no ego in the word HERO.
The road to success is started by embracing it and then networking with like minded people to achieve it.
But first we have to buy into our value and unlimited potential. Much of the opportunity we have today is because progressive minded people came together to make it possible
Be willing to invest in success. Reach for the stars, and then expect fame and acclaim, embrace success. Claim success, it's waiting for you!
There are still social ills to be addressed and positive people can work collectively together to eradicate them.
When one plays to a moderate position be prepared to get the crap kicked out of you from people on both sides of you.
Everyone deserves a second chance. But if a business associate screws you over if you work with them again, put measures in place to protect yourself.
The route down hill in business is much quicker than the upswing. Focus on the things that work because things that don't are obvious.

Kamau Quips: Commentary On Business and Life
Technology solves difficult problems. But Deep existential concerns can only be solved with spirit insights. In this tech can only assist.
Prayer is talking to GOD, Meditation is Listening. Both are spiritual communication. Seek both to know what your purpose is.
A good business is one in which you both serve your client's and your interests well.
Grab technology and mold it towards your goals. It can be your asset or liability. Decide to use it for innovation and progress.
Prospects who raise serious and legitimate questions or concerns are usually your best potential customers.
People do business with people they like. Usually people like themselves. Find common ground with your potential clients.
Pay close attention to your customers and they will compensate you with more than pay. They will send both Goodwill and Referrals your way.
In business Your Best (fiercest) competition could be your greatest inspiration or even partner when looking at your industry another way.
