Christian Credit Counseling - How Consumers Are Being Ripped Off in the Name of the Lord

By Tyrone P. Rollins


When most people mired in debt problems think of Christian Credit Counseling, they envision a safe haven they can go to and find debt solutions and spiritual solace. However, all too often, what many consumers are finding after they sign up with Christian Credit Counseling programs is a nightmare from Elm Street.Christian Credit Counseling Isn't What It Used To Be! - It's no secret that countless Americans are in serious financial trouble and maybe that's the problem. Debt laden consumers have drawn out of the woodworks a new generation of criminals and scam artists who have entered into the debt game with a bravado unheard of. Once they open their doors for business, they make promises they cannot keep and actually never intend on keeping. Promises such as being able to settle debts for pennies on the dollar, fix your credit and being able to put a halt to the debt collection process. To accomplish these incredible heavenly feats, they require large up front fees, management and processing fees and various other unexplainable monthly payments.


[Christian Credit]



What lures people in is the notion that Christian credit counseling services are free, and they usually are. But only for the counseling part itself. If there is a need to get into debt management, there will be plenty of fees just like with any other debt resolution company. This is not to criticize faith-based organizations, but serves to point out that whenever a debt resolution company goes to work, it costs money.To understand how debt resolution programs work also lends to understanding why they cost money. To receive the best negotiations for clients, it takes professional and experienced arbitrators. They have salaries. It also takes working with an insured banking facility who holds accounts. There are fees involved with any financial account. And so the list goes on. Christian credit counseling is no different. While counselors themselves may be volunteer, they are usually paid from the fees that are charged for debt management or consolidation programs. There is nothing wrong with that. People who do counseling deserve salaries too. But consumers should be aware that what purports to be free actually isn't.

They also reduce the interest rates significantly and thus help people save money and use it for other important and urgent needs. Now, this does not sound any different from what other credit card debt consolidation companies do. However, there are some differences. To begin with, the number of Christian credit card debt solution companies working on a non-profit basis is much higher. The ones that charge a fee stick to nominal rates. Additionally, they also proffer spiritual counseling to their clients to give them strength not to incur debts again in future. This spiritual counseling does go a long way in improving the spending habits of people.

In the business world, the word Christian does not necessarily imply that the business is exclusively for the Christians. Neither does it have to imply that the owner is a Christian. Internationally, it has come to be established that when someone is authentically Christian, the person concerned can be trusted and would follow the straight path of integrity. Interestingly, there is hardly any other business area where the name of a religious group is prefixed. A country's specialty may be advertised by name of a country to draw customers who favor that country's products especially food, but the qualifying term does not extend beyond this.

Debt loans are indeed of great help in escaping the burden of dues on multiple credit cards. However, you should not jump to accept the offer of just about any company claiming to offer Christian debt relief. As in case of any other company, you must duly verify the reputation of the company before opting to avail their services.

Those who consult with a service will be met with a caring and compassionate counselor who will carefully evaluate their financial status and present a workable plan for all parties involved; both the debtor and the creditors.

As part of remedying a debt situation, your credit counselor will be able to help you analyse your past buying patterns, spending habits and income potential. This is because the learned behaviours that have brought about a money struggle have to be recognised and deliberately changed, or there will be no permanent victory. Because most people find self-discipline difficult when it comes to money matters, your counselor might have suggestions to make things easier. Examples might be using a bank account for saving that's less 'accessible' (does not come with card access), reducing your daily withdrawal limit at the bank, making automatic savings plan deduction arrangements with your payroll clerk at work, using a 'debit' card for online purchases instead of a credit card, or even deliberately paying extra tax as a form of non-accessible savings, and receiving a nice tax refund at the end of the financial year.

Of course, not every case of being overextended is directly due to money mismanagement. Many times a sudden, unexpected financial crisis can take people by surprise. But even in these cases, the crisis occurs because a family does not have a savings 'buffer' with which to meet emergencies. So a long-term goal of Christian credit counseling is not only to see people back in 'the black' regarding debt, but to be proactive in money matters and use wisdom about accumulating savings, making sound investments, and having extra to give to needy causes.

Living With a Low Credit Score!

By Kelly R. Crumble


Ever wonder how your credit score is calculated? Well, it's really not all that complicated. In this article, you will learn the five factors that determine your credit score as well as the weight that each of them carries. These five factors are: payment history, overall account balances, credit history, types of credit and inquiries. After reading this article, you won't be able to calculate your score because there are complex algorithms used to compute your credit score; however, if you can understand the underlying factors that contribute to your credit, then you can learn the best strategies for boosting your score upward.


[Wealthy Men]



As obvious as it seems, paying your bills on time is very important. Something as simple as one 30-day late payment can stay on your credit report for 7 years. A late mortgage payment can hold you back from obtaining a loan for a year or mean the difference between a great interest rate and a poor interest rate. Also weighted heavily are collections, charge-offs, judgments and bankruptcies. These types of issues generally affect your credit rating in the most negative way. It is certainly possible to have these issues corrected in time. The important thing is to become knowledgeable about your credit in order to correct these issues as well as prevent them from occurring in the future.

Maintaining low balances contributes to the second largest factor in your credit score. As a good rule of thumb, it is a good idea to owe approximately 10% of your total credit limits. For instance, if you have a $1,000 line of credit, you should maintain a low balance of $100 on any given month. Owing too much money on accounts shows that you are a risk factor and are unable to pay account balances down. Creditors want to deal with consumers who can show restraint and discipline with credit lines. You want to show creditors that you are responsible and will pay them off in time. You don't want to show that you have a high dependence on credit.

Why not just have an open line of credit and keep a balance of $0? While that may seem like a logical and affordable decision to make, it does not establish a payment history over time and thus is not maximizing your ability to push your credit score up. You also don't want to close accounts that you don't use. When you do this, you are lowering your balance to credit limit ratio because you are eliminating available credit limits that were otherwise helping you. To sum things up, it is better to have a $0 balance on an open account rather than closing the account. It is even better to maintain a low balance and make payments each month on an account.

Remember, your payment history contributes to 35% of your credit score, and your balances contribute to 30% of your score. Therefore, maintaining low balances and paying your bills on time each month affects 65% of your credit score.Simply put, the longer your accounts have been opened, the higher your score will become. Accounts that are new may actually bring your score down, especially loans. It is not until you establish a positive history over time that you will notice the positive effects of a score increase.

A healthy mix of different accounts is best. You want your credit report to be comprised of credit cards, mortgages and auto loans. You don't simply want to have credit cards listed on your credit report.When a company pulls your credit report to qualify you for credit, this is called an inquiry. An inquiry will stay on your credit report generally for 3 years. It is very important to limit the amount of inquiries on your credit report. Although inquiries only contribute to 10% of your credit score, too many inquiries in a short period of time makes a consumer appear to be out of money and desperate for credit, and this becomes a risk in the eyes of potential creditors. It also implies to creditors that you may be opening new accounts, which as stated above pushes your credit score down.

A good tip to remember: multiple inquiries in a short period of time are calculated as only one inquiry. This allows consumers to shop around for good interest rates without being penalized. For this reason, it is a good idea to shop around for an auto or mortgage loan within a short period of time, such as two weeks.It is okay to check your own credit, as personal inquiries do not have a negative impact on your credit. Personal inquiries on your credit can't be seen by any creditor as well. The only type of inquiry that affects or contributes to the 10% are those inquiries done by creditors and not your own inquiries.

There is no greater embarrassing moment than the one where you have applied for a loan and it is declined because you have a poor credit score. Such embarrassment is reversible though; there are ways you can get back on the horse so to speak. It is important however to know how you got where you are to know what to do or not to do to avoid falling into the same trap again. As much as you would like to blame it on anyone, a poor credit score is usually borne as a personal responsibility. However, there is always the proverbial light at the end of this especially dark tunnel, here is how:Start from the bottom up,Improving your credit score just like the way everything else begins from the bottom. You need to know how you got there so that you can get out. Consider this as a maze; you have to go back the same way you came to get out of it. When working to improve our credit rating, you have to know what you did wrong so that in future you avoid doing the same thing.

The one and most efficient ways of doing this is to peruse through your credit reports; these are detailed reports of your credit activity over the past year or years depending on the time. Look through it to see what lowered your credit score and work to improve it by not doing such things.Settle any outstanding debts,The report will tell you where you have debts and how much you owe whether credit card payday loans. This information will then help you to reduce these debts by paying them off or at least making arrangements on how to pay them if the debt is not within your ability. The fact that you have started on the payments is an improvement on your credit score.

Avoid credit cards,Warren buffet said that the first step to being rich is getting rid of your credit cards. A credit card is a permanent loan from the lending institution. Whenever you use it, you are charged interest therefore making your purchases convenient but expensive.There is no price tag that can be put on the harm the credit card does to your credit score and this story is true for everyone who has one. Credit cards promote impulse buying and misuse of money that increases your debt and lowers your credit rating. Get rid of your existing ones and cancel any new applications.Dedication carry's the day,Nothing good comes easy but improving your debts is something you should not take lightly. It is not going to be easy, it might call for a lifestyle shift, but just like education, the fruits will be sweet.

It's Not Early For Retirement Planning

By David B. Nelson


It is a fact that we will reach a point in our lives where we all need to retire from our professions. You dream of a life where you will just enjoy traveling and having fun for the remainder of your life but keep in mind that there is a cost that comes with it. Remember that you won't have regular income coming in and your expenses will just keep on pouring in. This means that we need to plan on how to save our money in a systematic way in order to enjoy it later on. Most individuals ask themselves why they need to have retirement planning. This is important because you need some sort of security when you reach the age of retirement. You can start to have one as early as your twenties. If you plan your finances at an early point in your life, you are most likely to have fewer financial commitments. You will be able to have a huge bank of resources by the time you retire when you start early.


[Retirement Planners]



It is always beneficial if we have extra credits for surprises. We must consider the inflations when we really want to enjoy life when we get old. What we earn now no matter how big it might be, could just be enough when our time to retire comes. Focusing on this plan would require intensive process and wise planning for years. Many people know that taking this plan seriously means being persistent with the process as well. Managing a retirement is a continuous obligation even until it is already attainable. It would require the planner's patience and wise management.

For example one advisor had both a father and son as clients. The father died leaving his IRA to his son. The advisor promptly transferred the IRA from the father's name to the son's name? Sounds o.k. to you? But it isn't o.k. If you transfer an inherited IRA to a non-spouse beneficiary without a special designation like "inherited IRA of Dad for the benefit of Son" you cause immediate income tax acceleration for the IRA beneficiary. So rather than having the ability to stretch an IRA or defer taxes for forty years, the son had to pay the taxes on the entire IRA distribution the year after his father died. Using reasonable assumptions, this mistake cost the son one million dollars over his lifetime.

Both Spouses Need to be Involved.The life expectancy for the average American man is around 76 years while the life expectancy for average American woman is around 81 years. That means the average woman can expect to be on her own for four to five years in retirement. Medical experts estimate that 50% of Americans over age 85 suffer from conditions like Alzheimer's disease that leave them unable to manage financial matters.This is why both spouses need to be active in the retirement planning process.There is a strong possibility that one of you will not be able to manage the retirement investments at some point. There is also a possibility that both of you might not be able to handle the finances at some point.

Neither of these advisors is a bad person. As far as I know they might be wonderful spouses and loving parents. In fact, they could even be excellent money managers or product experts who have given excellent investment advice to hundreds of their clients. Where they failed, however, is not taking the time to become educated about IRAs and retirement plans or not seeking any additional help when they were confronted with issues related to IRAs and retirement plans.It also grieves me to say that these types of mistakes are all too common and that terrible advice regarding IRAs and retirement plans is routinely provided to millions of clients.Avoid These Costly IRA & Retirement Planning Mistakes - Do Your Research.If you are an advisor reading this, my suggestion, would be to read, study and attend some good seminars that will bring you up to speed on IRAs, Roth IRAs, and other retirement plans--with good information you can really add value for your clients. Excellent sources for information include books by Seymour Goldberg, Ed Slott, Robert Keebler, Natalie Choate, Gregory Kolojeski, and of course my own book Retire Secure!.

You see, everyone is so sketchy with their personal information, and so busy hiding everything so that it won't get stolen from identity thieves, hackers, or the next fraudulent scam artist that they don't always give the financial planner all the information they need to make a competent decision and come up with a workable strategy. Of course, you cannot do retirement planning unless you ask all the questions, and those questions must be answered by the client truthfully and honestly. If not, everyone is wasting their time and it would be impossible to come up with the best possible plan.

Is amazing how many questions a retirement planning consultant, or financial planner must ask these days to comply with all the federal and state requirements. There are what they call; "know your customer laws," and therefore the practitioner must ask all the questions and fill out all the forms. Then there are the questions that the retirement customer asks. Sometimes they are silly things such as; "should I be buying gold?"Another challenge that retirement planners and financial consultants must deal with is that they generally work for a larger firm that also has rules to stay out of hot water with the SEC and consumer protection agencies. Often this can get in the way of asset allocation when a given client wants to play it safe for their retirement, and then gets some wild hair up their rear end to go and make a silly and non-prudent financial investment decision on their own.

Both of you should have the legal right to access the accounts. Read all of the documentation and make sure this is the case. If not get it changed so it will not be a hassle later on.If you are not married you should check with an attorney to see what your rights are in your state. The law can vary widely from state to state and some states may not recognize some living arrangements. Something to be aware of is that relatives could try to claim they have legal powers over your partner or his money if there is no formal legal marriage. It may pay to get married or set up a legal arrangement such as a domestic partnership to protect your rights.

Do You Have the Skills to Make It Through a Disaster

By Mike Walsh


Humans have been able to survive and advance through the millenniums because of their minds. The ability to think and solve complex problems along with organizational skills has allowed humans to survive. Once people began to use their minds to develop machinery, physical strength did not mean as much, machines helped to do the heavy lifting.

You may not realize it now as you take a meal out of the freezer to slide into the oven that during a crisis all meals must be made by you, by hand from whatever raw ingredients are available. Poor cooking skills and not realizing the dangers of raw foods can endanger you and your family. It is incumbent upon you to learn how to process raw foods such as chicken, beef and other animals. Survival reality shows, for drama, may show a survivalist eating raw game or even fish with no apparent side effects. Wild game, fish and farm animals such as chicken and beef do contain parasites, bacteria and in some cases pathogens that can make you sick or even worse. The animals/wild game must be processed after the kill properly, and then the meat must be made ready for preservation and then be cooked in such a manner that all bacteria and parasites are destroyed. Cooking skills are vital.

You may only have yourself and family to depend on. Your tools may only be ones you can make yourself. This is where a need is identified and a tool or product is invented to meet that need. This is humans thinking and moving forward.

The so-called doomsday preppers believe that a disaster will soon strike knocking us centuries into the past. Years ago, families had their own gardens and farm animals such as chicken, swine and dairy cows. They in some cases milled their own flour; they smoked and dried their meats to see them through the winter. They put fruits and vegetables up in jars to last through the year. They could survive without ever going to the grocery store. However, there are things that you cannot grow or raise, but when it comes right down to surviving, you can get by without many things. You can begin gathering seeds and learning basic gardening skills. Learn the growing seasons and what plants thrive in your area.

Families dug their own wells and knew how to collect safe drinking water from natural springs; they put up well houses to protect their water from animals. You will need the skills to find and make your drinking water safe. Water is a priority and you must gather the knowledge to dig wells and to locate natural springs and know how to purify water.

Gathering knowledge is only half of the process, once you have the knowledge you must practice what you know. You will need to know how to improve your home or shelter and make fires. Practice your skills, you can begin today raising your own vegetables and begin learning how to can vegetables and dry fruits.

Letting the situation get the best of you is harmful. You must rely on your knowledge and training and have confidence in what you know. Thrashing blindly about when you do not have the answers is counterproductive. Practice your skills and reason your way through every problem.

In My Life Meaning Comes From Appreciation And Existing In The Present

By Lance Manyon


Gaining the sense that one's life has purpose and feeling happy with what one has are the two largest contributors to joyous living. There are people who naturally grow up with a knowledge of their passions and talents, but more often, people take several years, if not decades, to find out what makes them happy. The skills and talents people have are variable, and each person has unique abilities and needs. In my life meaning might be found in personal interaction and passions, whilst in others' lives, joy is found in achievement of career goals.

People who feel passionately about something tend to extract more joy from their lives when they follow their dreams. Those with obvious talents find their passions easy to identify, whilst others need to actively pursue the pastimes they love. However passion is found, its rewards are long lasting and potent.

People spend a third of their lives working. People who specifically tailor their jobs towards the things they enjoy doing have more enjoyable lives. People who make their careers a part of their pursuit of passion often find that working in a field they have chosen is far simpler than they thought it would be. Generally, this is due to the fact that people tend to be good at what they enjoy.

Talent and enjoyment come hand in hand, and those who use feed their gifts into a goal driven career enjoy a sense of direction and a more pleasurable existence. It is said that it takes 10 000 hours of work to become an expert at anything. Those willing to put in the hours necessary are likely to find themselves excelling in their given field.

Those who live balanced lives manage to satisfy their needs more efficiently. A well managed lifestyle can more successfully give people everything they require. A balanced lifestyle contains aspects of creativity, healthy living, rest, spiritual pursuits and relationships.

Maslow theorized that needs could only be satisfied according to a hierarchy in which basic desires needed to be satisfied before greater pursuits could be sought. The ultimate need is self actualization, which entails self knowledge and achieving one's aims. According to Maslow, however, this can only be achieved if basic requirements such as housing, sleep and health are met.

Spirituality means something different to each individual. Some shy away from the word but practice its principles nonetheless. The definition of the word has changed over time. In the past, people tended to see spirituality as directly linked to religion. Today, the word can apply to those who don't participate in any religious beliefs.

Living according to spiritual principles is efficient at ridding one's life of unhealthy thought patterns and behaviors. Those who practice honesty, humility and authenticity enjoy positive consequences whilst those who practice dishonesty, insecurity and arrogance endure negative results.

Some people see self knowledge and authenticity as important parts of spirituality. These facets are vital for everyone, no matter what their religion. In my life meaning is found in existing in the current moment rather than the future and the past. People who can be present in the now can enjoy the beauty in the world.

For Effective Anger Management Royal Oak Residents Should Consult Local Practitioners

By Katelyn Buckner


If you know someone who needs help with anger management Royal Oak counsellors are trained to assist. Everyone gets angry and frustrated from time to time. However uncontrolled rage can result in potentially dangerous behaviour. It can have a destructive influence on your career, your relationships with others and the overall quality of your life.

Domestic violence, workplace abuse, arguing, road rage and fighting are some of the negative activities which occur as a result of uncontrolled rage. This is a powerful emotion which once had a place in ensuring the survival of an individual. There are many incidents which can trigger a violent response in some individuals. Traffic jams, personal problems such as perceived slights or even an adolescent's messy room can all trigger an over-reaction.

Being angry is not necessarily negative but when the emotion cannot be controlled, violent or emotional outbursts may result. Acceptable methods of venting rage vary between individuals, families and cultures. Counsellors will teach you ways to cope with these feelings. An incident which leads to an angry outburst can be dealt with in a healthy and non-violent method.

Anger needs to be dealt with and expressed appropriately. Stating your needs clearly and calmly in a respectful and non-judgemental manner may make it possible for your needs to be met. Converting the negative energy of rage into constructive activity helps some people deal with their emotions. Walking, bike-riding or jogging can release the stored tension for some. Suppressing anger can cause the emotion to turn inward and result in disorders such as depression or hypertension. Learning relaxation techniques can be very helpful.

An angry person may be continually morose and ill-tempered rather than having violent tendencies. They may become withdrawn. If the emotion is suppressed, the individual may exhibit cynicism, hostility or passive-aggressive behaviours. These attitudes may become ingrained. The person's relationship with everyone can be affected.

A counsellor will be able to suggest a number of strategies which will help you deal with your fury. Speak in a low, controlled voice instead of shouting. Take deep breaths. Before you reach the point of lashing out, walk away and take the time to calm down. Work out exactly what you are so angry about. Once you have done this and become calmer, you may be able to go back to discuss the issue.

Learn the triggers that make you erupt with rage. Anger can be expressed in appropriate ways. Speaking up at the right time in a polite, controlled manner can prevent your emotions escalating to a dangerous level. Be assertive without being aggressive. Voicing your emotions is the quickest and surest way to defuse them. State the problem clearly to the other person.

Being able to forgive will help you let go of angry feelings. Hanging onto your anger can lead to serious health issues. Being physically active results in the release of endorphins which promote feelings of peace and self-esteem. Joining a support group will also enable you to connect with people who have similar issues to your own. By seeking out anger management Royal Oak residents can find help and relief from the restrictive issues of angry outbursts.
