We have interviewed everyone who has shared their story with us regarding the free credit repair program we want to give away. The chosen extra credit listener is announced! Also - A consumer has filed a lawsuit against Equifax and Navient Solutions alleging a disregard for accurate reporting his loan performance. The consumer says they have tried repeatedly to dispute and validate the incorrect credit reporting information but has had no luck. According to the complaint the consumer had 13 separate loans with Navient and they were paid off in full in July 2016. After the loans were paid off, both Experian and TransUnion both correctly reflected the loan status. The suit says, “Equifax failed to update Plaintiff’s accounts to reflect the payoff and closure of the accounts and instead continued to list each of the accounts as open and with a monthly payment amount and/or a balance.”  We breakdown the merit of the lawsuit and discuss how this consumer was injured...or not injured based on the allegations!

Buying a home is the main motive behind consumers wanting to improve their credit score. As an Extra Credit Show listener it's highly likely the motive behind you wanting to master your credit score is tied to an end goal of homeownership. In this episode we cover a few first time homebuyer programs available to consumers, and Nik shares his experiences in the real estate buying process.  We also discuss how credit impacts your ability to rent a home, which is a fantastic look into the decision making process of tenant screening. We even learn several new things ourselves! Nik Boone owns Ascend Real Estate, a local property management and real estate sales company. Due to his company handling both rentals and sales, he brings an insightful perspective in both buying and renting real estate.

Has the FCRA been violated if the dealership shotguns your credit if you've given them permission to run it at least once? I've had this discussion 100x over the years with angry consumers. You go to the dealership to buy a car, and when you get to the financing part they run your credit with several lenders and thus you end up with several, sometimes a dozen or more inquiries on your credit report. Consumers freak out, and maybe justifiably so. In this episode we discuss a very recent case of a consumer who sued a car dealership for doing just this, and we discuss the courts ruling which is quite interesting.

In this episode we discuss what to do if you have been served with a lawsuit for credit card debt! It sucks, but it happens. Recently it's been happening ALOT. There are certain debt collectors and types of debt that are more commonly filing suits against consumers than others. If you know anybody who has past due credit card debts this episode is a MUST listen. It's always best to address the issue before suite gets filed, because after that things get exponentially worst! This is always a touchy subject because we don't want to accidently give legal advice, but we deal with this very often and feel comfortable discussing it.

Credit Repair should not last forever. Actually it should really only be 3-6 months, and in some rare cases it can go longer than 6 months. The habits and actions you take after the credit repair process is over are extremely important to make sure you don't "come back" or become a "repeat client" of a credit repair company. In this episode we break down and discuss common issues that we have seen our clients commit after they finished our program. The focus of the episode is to discuss how to continue to maintain your credit after you've completed a credit repair program. Myths we breakdown: How to manage your credit cards every month. Do you pay them off every month? Do you have to carry balances every month to show activity? Do you keep them at 30%? (No, no, and NO) Do you need to keep all your accounts opened? What is the IDEAL amount of credit cards to have open?  Submit your questions to have them answered on the show: TheExtraCreditShow@gmail.com Available on Itunes, Stitcher, Google Play, and everywhere Podcasts are found.

Can you to Jail for not paying your debt? We like to say a hard NO on this answer, but it's actually really complex. (Aren't all credit answers a bit complicated?)   In this episode we discuss in detail how debt collectors are using the civil system to enforce debts and how they abuse it to land consumers in jail. A very disturbing trend that has garnered attention from the ACLU and major media outlets who are not reporting some egregious cases of how consumers ended up in jail for unpaid debt.

A common saying in the office that we find ourselves telling our client is "You are leaving too many points on the table" - and that is normally because the client is wanting to run their credit aka apply for credit at the wrong time. Timing in the credit world can make a huge difference in the credit score your lender sees when they calculate your score. In this episode we discuss how we coach our clients into optimizing their credit score and learning to time their inquiry/credit application so that the score is the highest it could possibly be for their particular credit profile.  The Extra Credit Show is a show hosted by Ex-Debt Collection Agency Executive and Consumer Credit Expert Anselmo Moreno and his business partner Richard David.
