The Equal Credit Opportunity Act & Women
Under the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, women have the right
to build up their own credit without being discriminated
against. Women who do not apply for credit in their own
names are at a distinct disadvantage. In the event of a
divorce or death of a mate, there wouldn't be a credit
history reflecting any personal contributions. Under the
Equal Credit Opportunity Act there is not reason for women
to lose their identity when they are married. You can become
familiar with all of your rights as a woman by writing to

Is it ethical to try and remove legitimate bad credit?
Yes! One of the best explanations of that is the following
article written by Jayson Orvis, Attorney At Law:
"Credit Repair" has not been kind to the American consumer.
In fact, the phrase is synonymous with fraud. This is the
stigma we face as we offer a membership wherein the client
is offered an alternative to "credit prison." Because the
nasty reputation of credit repair sometimes washes over into
our space, we are often called upon to defend the ethics of
our service.
Despite the disrepute which taints credit improvement, our
service is clearly analogous to the service provided by a
defense attorney. The credit report is no more than an
allegation. Unfortunately, most citizens never challenge
that allegation. By enlisting the Law Offices through
N.A.C.A. to their defense, our clients employ us to enter a
plea of "not guilty." We take an affirmative defense; we
offer a reasonable alibi and leave it to the bureaus to
substantiate their allegation. If the bureau claims to have
investigated and affirmed the allegation, we appeal the
decision. Eventually, we find that most credit report
allegations are at some point untenable and are removed.
Removing record of a negative credit account, which did
actually exist, is undoubtedly ethically sound. We belong to
a fundamentally capitalistic civilization and the credit
bureaus capitalize on consumer information. Unlike our legal
system, the bureaus take no oath to truth, equity and the
common good. No American has the moral obligation to support
any business venture or corporation, much less a corporation
which may well destroy their financial life. The information
tended by the credit bureaus is ethically "up for grabs."
The credit bureaus would maintain every piece of credit
information forever if it weren't for federal law which has
directed them to remove most items after seven years. In
essence, the credit bureaus themselves practice credit
repair, basically at the seven year mark. If it is right to
remove accurate credit accounts after seven years, why would
it be wrong to do so in less time?
In relationship to the consumer, the credit bureaus do not
concern themselves with the impact of the information. This
information often misrepresents the credit worthiness of the
consumer. By tagging good citizens as "deadbeats" the
bureaus damage the creditors, the economy and, most
importantly, the individual. Several policies and techniques
employed by the credit bureaus appear most abusive to the
American consumer; these we cite as justification of our
opposition to the present credit reporting system.
Seven years (10 years for bankruptcy and some court
accounts) credit bondage punishes the debtor unjustly. At no
point have the credit bureaus ever conducted a study
determining seven years to be the point of deadbeat
rejuvenation. The seven year mark is entirely arbitrarily.
In fact, Dr. Bonnie Gution, adviser to President Bush on
consumer affairs, remarked, "...it is our understanding that
computer models that predict credit worthiness find most
information that is more than two years old nonessential."
Based on experience with our clientele, seven years is truly
too long. Within a year or two, most consumers completely
recover from an economic crisis. For the remaining five or
six years, they are left hobbled---forced to rent homes, pay
outrageous interest on high risk auto loans, forgo the
convenience of credit cards and pay cash for every
expenditure. By expelling the consumer from the credit loop,
the economy suffers. Our clients come to us on the financial
upswing. If they can afford our membership, they are most
likely on the way back to financial abundance. These are
consumers fully recovered from crisis, re-engaged to
financial responsibility and anxious to reenter the credit
economy. For them, we offer a deserved parole from the
credit prison which they entered as their financial world
fell apart.
The credit bureaus have not been able to maintain reasonable
accuracy in their credit profiles. The bureaus claim an
error ratio under 1 percent. In reality, studies conducted
by neutral third parties have determined the credit report
error ratio to be closer to 40 percent. Unfortunately for
the consumer, the credit bureaus choose to err on the side
of negative information. As our clients' files have passed
through our offices, we have noticed a high incidence of
file mergers---the worst kind of file error. In a file
merger, the credit of another person with a similar name is
spread onto the file of the innocent bystander. Oddly, the
credit bureaus fiercely resist correction of these obvious
errors. We have found the only way to prompt them to
