How Long Does It Take To Recover From Identity Theft?
The average identity theft case takes 26 hours to resolve, but you may be dealing with the effects of identity theft for several years. If someone has used your social security number or other personal information to create a synthetic or false identity, chances are they have used your personal information to create multiple identities. A sophisticated identity thief may have created a very messy situation that could take you a very long time to unravel. Watch this Expert Real Estate Tips video and others on Identity Theft to learn how to protect yourself and your personal information.
What To Do If You Find Mistakes On Your Credit Report
If you're checking your credit report regularly, you should be looking for more than your credit score. You should also check for mistakes on your credit report and make sure all the information is accurate. If you find a mistake on your credit report, you will want to file a dispute with the three credit reporting bureaus. By law, the credit reporting bureaus are required to address your dispute within 30 days. Sometimes the credit reporting agency can come to a quick resolution, but other times, it may take longer to come to an agreement with the lender. Either way, watch your credit report very carefully for any false information and file a dispute immediately.
Common Credit Mistakes That Lower Your Credit Score
Do you know what kind of credit mistakes are lowering your credit score? Common mistakes may be dragging down your credit score and you may not even know what you're doing. Keep your credit card balance below 50 percent of your available credit. If you max out your credit cards every month you may be lowering your score. You can also get into more trouble if you run into late payments on your credit cards. Watch this Expert Real Estate Tips video for more common credit mistakes that could be lowering your credit score.

Ilyce Glink on the Herman Cain Show - October 21, 2009
Today Ilyce Glink guest hosted the Herman Cain Show on WSB Radio. She discussed the latest economic news and took questions from caller. Craig called to say he's a small business owner who has lost 35 percent of his business and laid off 7 of 15 workers. He's disgusted by the laws being enacted, and all of the new taxes. Henry called to say he has a problem with the whole idea that we're just walking all over the contract process.
