Credit reporting agencies, also known as credit bureaus, are not government agencies. They are large corporations that are authorized to collect, store, organize and disseminate your personal financial information, and to make a profit providing the information to those who pay for it.

The services and the information that credit reporting agencies provide primarily benefits the banks and other lenders that provide loans. To a lender, a loan is an investment; they provide funds and expect to be paid back in a timely manner and with interest. Any investment balances risk against potential reward, so lenders must measure how risky a loan is in order to determine what interest rate to charge, or whether to provide the loan in the first place.

So, both the credit bureaus and the lending institutions want your credit report to be as accurate as possible. If items are missing that indicate a person or business may be a high credit risk, lenders can provide loans that may never be repaid. On the other hand, if a credit report contains erroneous bad credit marks, they may deny funds to someone that deserves it and would have absolutely no trouble paying it back within the terms of the loan.

The credit reporting agencies gather information from many sources such as public or court records, landlords, and of course, your creditors. With billions of individual items passing through the credit reporting system each month, it is not surprising that many of them are assigned to the wrong borrower.

It is very important to fix your credit when erroneous errors are found. It is your responsibility to ensure that your credit report is accurate. The first step is to order your credit report periodically – at least once a year – and read it in its entirety. Highlight any items that you believe are inaccurate.

There are many reasons why your credit report may contain inaccuracies. Most reports actually contain at least one mistake or erroneous item.

To resolve inaccurate items, you must dispute each item with the credit reporting agency that provided the report to you. To do so, you can either write a letter to the agency, or fill out a form on the agency’s web site. Entering a dispute online usually gives faster resolution.

Whichever method you choose to send a dispute to a credit bureau, be sure to include as much information as you can to help the agency identify the item and create an inquiry to the lender. Be sure to include your full name, your social security number, current address and telephone number. If the credit report with the erroneous item has an ID number, be sure to include it so the person working with you can see the same report that you are looking ar. Clearly identify the account and lending institution that contains the inaccurate information, and describe concisely what item is erroneous and what is wrong with it.

Once you dispute an item, the credit bureau will forward the information to the lender in question, and ask them to verify the accuracy of the item. The lender must respond to the inquiry within 30 days, so you should have an answer in approximately a month from your original dispute. The lender will either provide verification that the item is true, or send corrected information.
If a lender verifies a disputed item that you know is wrong, you may have to provide additional information to support your claim, request that a new investigation be opened, or even contact the creditor directly to resolve the issue. In any case, do not give up and work calmly and professionally with the lender reporting the bad item. Remember that, although your credit is most important to you, the lenders and the credit agencies do want your credit report to be correct.

Entering a dispute online is usually the quickest way to begin the process. The credit agencies will also contact you via email as soon as a response is received, and you can usually check the status of the dispute on a web site.

Your credit is important. Make the effort to stay on top of your own credit report and fix inaccurate items as quickly as possible. Bad credit, especially when it is unjustified, can limit your opportunities or make loans much more expensive to repay than they need to be.

Imagine that you are out at sea and steaming ahead at full speed. Life is good and you are enjoying the high life. Unfortunately your boat runs into the storm of the century. This is a storm that not even your luxury cruiser makes it through. Wave after wave crashes upon you and you are sinking and fast.

The very unfortunate thing is that most of us who are invested in the stock market today don’t need much of an imagination to understand what this situation is like. The past year has been a category five hurricane for the average investor. The storms have been swirling all around and with these storms have come an almost unprecedented destruction of wealth. This came after a very frothy period for the markets with record stock market returns and so most investors had become very complacent with their portfolios. Unfortunately this is a hard way to learn that diversifying also means picking up some alternative investments.

As an investor looking for calm in the rough waters you need to move beyond stocks. A Forex trading system or commodity futures trading, along with a whole host of other investments such as exchange-traded funds that benefit from a declining market, should be added to your portfolio. Doing this will provide you with dry land and shelter in the midst of the agony and financial destruction that is all around you these days.

Unless you’ve been living in a cave, you realize that there is a great deal of concern over the economy lately. Many people are finding their homes are worth less than they paid, and the unemployment rate is higher than it has been in quite some time. In these trying times, many consumers are feeling the pinch of years of undisciplined spending, and now need some counseling or downright help to fix credit.

The high interest rates that banks charge on credit card and personal loans quickly become a burden that can make your financial situation precarious. Often you find that you can only make minimum monthly payments, which further harms your credit score and usually ends up getting yourself even deeper in debt. When you finally reach the end of the rope, you swallow your pride and ask for help because you did not understand the repercussions of undisciplined or frivolous spending. At this point, the services of an experienced credit counselor are sought, hoping to repair bad credit, improve your credit score and maybe even reduce your debt.

A reputable firm does not promise to fix your credit, but will work as an advocate to help you take action. There are things you can do to improve your credit without waiting 10 years for bad items to fall off of your credit report on their own. So the first step to fixing bad credit is to get educated. Learn what can and can’t be done, and more importantly, how to do them.

Following significant falls in the value of the Japanese Yen over recent days, the general sentiment on the FOREX market is of further falls. The Yen, once considered one of the safest currencies, is now in a precarious and perilous state.

The Japanese economy is at its lowest state for decades, even lower than that of most other major economies, with its GDP shrinking by 12.7% and its currency no longer appears to be bucking the trend of world stock markets. On the contrary, it now seems to be getting back in phase. No one is buying Japanese products and Japanese manufacturing operations in foreign countries, particularly in the automotive sector, are seeing a steep decline with significant lay-offs and closures. The downturn in exports is almost 50% with further declines being predicted.

FOREX trading of the Yen against the USD has seen a rapidly increasing number of short positions with a minority remaining long. Poor sentiments are probably exacerbated by concerns that the Japanese government is looking increasingly likely to devalue the Yen despite denials that it is overvalued. Furthermore, the country appears to be preparing to use substantial funds in its currency reserves to prop up its major industries.

All these factors signal further falls in the Yen.

The percentage of the US population born outside its borders is currently 11.5% and continually rising. The typical workplace is becoming more and more culturally diverse, bringing about a need for managers to better adapt. Leadership course expert Robert Rosen discusses why implementing specific strategies for dealing with diverse cultures in the workplace is important. From his essay “Becoming a Culturally Literate Leader in a Global World,” (from the book Partnering, the New Face of Leadership) Rosen explains, “Corporate survival and prosperity increasingly depend on our ability to interact and manage people of different cultures, locally, regionally, nationally and globally.” Rosen points out that even though many companies don’t do business across borders, everyone is part of the global marketplace. “To thrive, all leaders must adopt a global-centric approach to business. They must develop a multicultural perspective, an international knowledge base and a global imagination – in other words, cultural literacy.

Cultural literacy in the workplace depends largely on effective communication across all team members without excluding or unintentionally offending those from different ethnicities. AMA’s seminar, Managing Multicultural Teams for Peak Performance, offers some communication tips to managers of multicultural teams:

• Use a simplified message with less complex sentence structure and vocabulary.
• Never raise your voice or shout to be understood.
• Clearly spell out acronyms and define technical terms.
• Avoid non-standard abbreviations common in instant messaging and texting, like “U R” in place of “you are.”
• Be patient and listen to your team’s ideas and logic. They may be different than yours, and be perfectly valid.
• Feel free to ask people to repeat themselves once or even twice. If you still don’t understand, then ask them to restate their comment differently.
• If you make a mistake that results in your embarrassment or the embarrassment of others, remain cool and composed. Chances are this is the result of an innocent misunderstanding.
• If something said or done by someone of a different cultural background is offensive, be sure to fully understand their meanings and intentions before acting.
• If someone else’s actions or words seem completely negative, chances are good that you’re missing something. Check with that person for clarification or speak with someone else with experience in those of a similar culture.
• Take into account that others may have a different comfortable personal space zone than yours. Be willing to adapt as needed. Often the distance at which they shake hands provides a clue to what is acceptable.
• Give others the benefit of the doubt. When someone’s actions or statements seem wrong or just strange, ask yourself “How else could I interpret this?”
• Communication important messages in several ways to be sure they are received and clearly understood. E-mail, phone and speak with others in person. Be sure your comments are consistent.
