TODAY: Planning for financial success
Managing debt can be a full time job in today's economy. Join us for 2
workshops, presented by Consumer Credit Counseling Service of Rochester, which
will assist you in planning for a more successful financial future. The
following sessions are being held this afternoon from 2:00-4:00 in room 9-132
at the Brighton Campus.
Session 1 2:00-3:00pm
"Paper or plastic... Avoiding debt disaster!"
Borrowing money doesn't usually conjure thoughts of anxiety or fear, but
often borrowers end up with debt "horror stories". In this session you will
learn about the good and the bad of credit cards - rewards, interest, fees,
limits and more. Find out how to use a credit card to establish your credit
history, stay out of debt, and use credit the right way. You will also learn
about some of the consequences of a debt disaster such as bankruptcy,
judgments, and garnishments.
Session 2 3:00-4:00
"Credit Reports, Scores, and all that Fun Stuff!"
The
topic of credit can be daunting when you consider everything involved. With so
many changes and regulations, it's difficult to have a solid grasp of things
such as credit scores, credit reports, and what is considered to be good
credit. This session will help consumers learn how to order their credit
report, how to read their credit report, how to dispute/correct inaccurate
credit reporting information, how to repair and rebuild damaged credit, and
strategies for debt management.
Come for one or both! Contact Vilma Patterson at
