In some recently published advice, consumers are being encouraged to stay back from bad money advice thanks to some useful tips to bust the seven most common myths regarding consumer credit.
When it comes to credit scores and finances, myths can cause some huge problems. It is increasingly common for consumers to be faced with plummeting credit scores because they believed in some incorrect advice.
This can result in the consumer being unable to qualify for preferential rates when they apply for mortgages, credit cards or vehicle financing. The following seven myths are believed to be the most common misconceptions which can cause a downwards credit spiral.
- My credit will be good as long as I make my minimum payments on time. In reality, even if you are making payments on time, those larger outstanding balances can drag your credit score down.
- Once I pay off a debt it will be taken off of my credit report. Again this is not true, while the debt will be reported as a closed or paid account, it still leaves a negative mark in your credit history.
- Errors involving amounts owed or paid off are the only ones which ill affect my credit score.

So I signed up for online dating – you know, one of those sites where I load my photo, type a few words about long walks on the beach and kittens, then start reeling in the hotties.
Well, I had my first date, and let’s just say it went less than spectacular. See, I wasn’t quite what my lady-friend was expecting. When I set up my profile, I loaded a photo of a Good Score Guy. While I think I’m stellar looking, most girls tend to ignore me or tell me to get lost. So to attract some fine-looking women, I exaggerated my physical appearance. Just a little. OK, a lot.
My date decided to look past my less-than-stellar exterior to get to know the “real me” – kind, generous, warm-hearted. She talked about her high-powered career, the children’s charity she volunteers with and her hopes for the future. Like most singles, she was looking for someone “financially stable” – a.k.a., a guy without a bad credit score that can ruin everything. And no phonies – people need to “take off their masks,” she said, if they’re ever going to form any meaningful relationships. (Take off my mask?) I talked
Economist Ambrose Evans Pritchard is predicting a major Eurozone upheaval as Germany comes to terms with the fact that it can no longer support weaker union partners, particularly Greece. He describes possible scenarios, including the breaking of the EU into separate blocs with Germany introducing new currency in one bloc with France maintaining the euro in the other to avoid EU collapse.
