Have you ever been the victim of check fraud? Would you even know it if you were? Technology has made it much easier for crooks to help themselves to your hard earned cash, but Rob West and Steve Moore know a few steps you can take to prevent it.
Next, they answer questions at (800) 525-7000 and [email protected] about the following:
Couple purchased a home in 2014 and put 55% down.The lender said that due to their poor credit, they still had to pay PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance).Would it be a good idea to refinance now?
Caller was undisciplined as a child.She used to steal from stores when she was in high school, Now that she is an adult and has become a Christian, she wants to know whether she should try to make restitution.
Home Health nurse called in to warn listeners about individuals who are coming to people’s homes masquerading as home health nurses, then asking the patient for information such as Social Security Numbers.It’s yet another scam, but this one happens inside your home.
Couple wants to get out of debt.They have about $3,000 in credit card debt.Should they pay it off all at once, or should they pay extra each month?Which would help their credit scores more?
Divorced man paid child support for years, but then got behind and never caught back up.He is now $65k in arrears.Can he get this discharged through bankruptcy?The children are now both adults.
Caller has a timeshare and says she and her husband found a way to get out of theirs.
