National Consumer Protection Week

Kelsey_H · ‎03-03-2014

Hi,

I'm your new myFICO representative. Nice to meet you all. This week is National Consumer Protection (NCPW) week, and consumer protection is something I'm pretty passionate about. Consumers are too often tricked, scammed or taken advantage of. So in an effort to spread the word and get involved with the cause, I wanted to share a helpful link.

https://www.ncpw.gov/blog/welcome-ncpw-2014

This lists of consumer topics provided by the NCPW organization offers an extensive list of threats to consumer sanity. Check it out and share it you feel like it. We're not affiliated with them or anything. I just think it's a great resource on topics that people should know about.

Every now and then I might be posting in here with some other great resources I come across. Hope you don't mind!

Hi there! Nice to meet you. I certainly don't mind helpful resources! (which is what this forum is)

Welcome to the forum

Before you app think...
Have you done your research of the CC?
Does it fit your spending?
Do you have a plan for the bonus w/o going into debt?
Can you afford the AF?
Do you know the cards benefits? Is it worth the HP?

Whoops! I think I added a period to the end of the link that screwed things up. Or something. But yes that's the link, and then click "consumer topics."
