By turns hilarious and profoundly disturbing, Maxed Out paints a picture of a national nightmare which is all too real for most of us!!

Fair Credit Reporting Act for Consumers Rights
- Debt Reduction Defendant Settles FTC Charges
According to a complaint filed by the FTC in March 2007, Debt-Set, Resolve Credit Counseling, Inc., and their principals sold debt reduction services through Web sites and television and radio advertisements with claims such as “Reduce Debt Now” and “Eliminate Harassing Calls.” When consumers called a toll-free number, the complaint alleged, they were encouraged to enroll in a “debt consolidation program” if their unsecured consumer debt was up to one month overdue, or a “debt settlement program” if overdue longer. - 5 Ways to DESTROY your credit score
Your credit score, or your FICO score, ranges from the worst possible score of a 300 to a perfect 850, and is determined by such factors as paying your bills on-time, the amount of money you owe as well as the length of your credit history, according to the company Fair Isaac, which runs the scoring system.
But even if you are one of those individuals who is diligent about maintaining your good credit standing, it is still possible that with a few simple missteps you could send your credit score into a tailspin faster than you can say delinquency.
So while closing out those credit card accounts you don't use or rolling over all your outstanding debt to one card may seem like sensible moves, you might actually be killing your credit rating. - How Does the Fair Credit Reporting Act Affect You and Your Credit Score?
The Fair Credit Reporting Act was established to protect Pittsburgh consumer rights. Knowing these rights can be a huge asset if you ever find yourself in deep water financially.
If you have credit then you have a right to know what your credit report says. This is enforced by the terms of the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). This act guarantees you certain rights that were not enforced so strictly previously.

- Tips for Consumers against Credit Card Fraud
Credit and charge card fraud costs cardholders and issuers hundreds of millions of dollars each year. While theft is the most obvious form of fraud, it can occur in other ways. For example, someone may use your card number without your knowledge.
It's not always possible to prevent credit or charge card fraud from happening. But there are a few steps you can take to make it more difficult for a crook to capture your card or card numbers and minimize the possibility.
