Seminar on 'Understanding Your Credit Report'
The Fairmont State University Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE) Team is sponsoring
an "Understanding Your Credit Report" seminar on Tuesday, Feb. 19, from 7 to 9 p.m.
in Room 148 of FSU's Gaston Caperton Center, 501 W. Main St., Clarksburg.
The first step to protecting or improving personal credit is to learn how to read
and understand a credit report. Many people do not understand where their credit information
is stored, what goes into their credit report, how long information remains on the
credit report, how and by whom the credit report is used or how to correct inaccuracies
found on their credit report. The seminar presenter, Larry Wilson of CBC INNOVIS,
will help provide answers to these and many other questions about credit reports.
Time will be provided for questions and answers.
Fight identity theft by monitoring and reviewing and beginning to understand your
credit report. Bring a recent copy of your credit report so you can ask questions
of personal interest regarding information you find on your report. A free copy of
your credit report may be obtained by going to AnnualCreditReport.com at this web
address: www.annualcreditreport.com
The seminar is open to the public. Pre-registration is not necessary, but is encouraged.
To register for the "Understanding Your Credit Report" seminar, contact Dr. Jack Kirby
