When you are in crisis, any solution is a “bright light”. If you have any negatives on your credit you can always correct them and in some cases start from the beginning to rebuild your credit history.

It is also one of the many reasons why there are credit cards in the first place. It’s one purpose is for during crisis when you don’t have anything at all.

As an precautionary prevention it is better to have a secured credit card at a time like when theirs a crisis that you didn’t expected to come.

Wow! I couldn’t have said it better myself! Women need to take charge of our own credit and financial situation- shared now or not. Not to be “doom and gloom”, but the statistics are startling about what happens to women who didn’t take the time to educate themselves and prepare themselves for the future, single or married! Love the post!

Seeing as how the average “heavy user” spends over $1k a year at Starbucks, I can see the temptation for these types of cards, but what a rip off – it’s really cheaper to just save and purchasing using cash.

I also learned today that being late or missing a payment can cause your interest rate to skyrocket – on CNN money today they profiled several different scenarios that caused one card holders interest rate to soar to 41% – that is *really* expensive money!

Comment on Credit Problems Are Minor Compared to Other Risks by Jen

“Evidence proved the identity theft victim was not the perpertrator of the crime but, nonetheless, she was convicted in one of the counties. She was sentenced to 10 years probation, 100 hours of community service, a fine of $2500 and restitution to the scam victim of $975.”

I just don’t get how she could be punished! This is absolutely frightening. The stories I heard involved credit nightmares but never anything like criminal charges!
