Credit Fixes
Congress recently changed credit card laws and funded new programs to help homeowners at risk of foreclosure. Joan Cartan-Hansen explores how these credit fixes will affect how you use credit cards, how it could impact your credit rating, and where homeowners can get help.
Cartan-Hansen is joined by Dale Dixon, CEO of the Better Business Bureau serving Southwest Idaho and Eastern Oregon; and Dirk Scott, Sales Manager for U.S. Bank in Boise.
