Credit Myths and Repair Seminar January 26, 2011

We are continuing our public financial education workshop series for 2011. The first “Credit Myths and Repair” workshop will be taking place next week, Wednesday the 26th at 6:30pm at Meriwest Credit Union, 5615 Chesbro Ave., San Jose CA 95123. The workshop runs about an hour.

In this workshop you will learn:

- The Top Ten Myths of credit that are actually the Top Ten management issues people have with their credit.
- What is a FICO Score?
- How long negative credit items and collections can stay on your report.
- How to access your credit reports and credit score for free from all three credit bureaus! No monthly charges or fees for access.
- How to address items that are invalid, inaccurate or out of date and how to request a consumer investigation to get those items removed from your report.

If you have a question about credit or are just simply curious about accessing your credit reports and score for free, please RSVP to me and I will put on our list for Wednesday. Please feel free to share this with your friends and family. The workshop is open to the public.

The event takes place on Wednesday, January 26th 2011 at 6:30 pm at Meriwest Credit Union, 5615 Chesbro Ave., San Jose CA 95123 (intersection of Chesbro and Blossom Hill)
