The Federal Government operates on a fiscal year of; October 1st through September 30th. Congress is required to pass a new spending bill each year to ensure the operation and funding of the federal government and its many programs. If a bill does NOT pass, non-essential government functions will CEASE, as they would no longer have the authority to spend any money. To prevent an interruption in services a “continuing resolution” may be passed, authorizing the government to fund their agencies at current levels, UNTIL a resolution expires or a permanent bill (or budget) is agreed upon and passed. So far, we have been continuing the continuing resolutions; this is the 5th short term funding bill that has passed this fiscal year.

Federal employees have already been hit with a two-year federal pay freeze, and the inability of the government to work together to approve a budget could potentially impact their livelihood even further. The $14.29 trillion dollar debt ceiling, which we will most likely hit before end of NEXT month, can ALSO shut down the government – so we may see this same threat AGAIN, in the very near future.

However, there are a number of ways to find out which credit repair company has a good reputation, and which ones have a lot of unhappy customers. Credit repair is never an exact science with 100 percent guarantees, but the right company can at least vastly improve your credit standing without alienating the credit reporting agencies.

Before hiring a credit repair company, check their website thoroughly. What services do they offer? While it is not necessary to understand laws such as the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) it is important to know exactly what this service can do for your situation. Most credit repair firms write letters to the credit reporting bureaus. While you likely will not be able to see sample letters online, as it would tip off the credit bureaus as to who writes them letters, you can easily check the firm’s reputation on Google. Are there a lot of people complaining about the service? Do they have a lot of unresolved complaints with protective agencies such as the Better Business Bureau?

Tip One – Compare multiple offers at once

If you’re like me you get hundreds of credit card offers in the mail every year. Each of the envelopes is designed to make you want to open them. They splash their offering on the outside or invite you too look deeper into what they have for you. At first glance some of the offerings sound really good. They offer free interest, bonus points, gift certificates, and cash back. No matter how good the offer sounds you don’t know how good it is until you’ve compared multiple offers against each other. There are multiple items that need to be considered at the same time to get the whole picture. So as a general rule of thumb: don’t sign up for the first offer that comes your way.
