Thank you, Woman’s World Magazine, for featuring me in your column, “Ask America’s Ultimate Experts.”
Thank you, Kristina Mastrocola, writer, for the interview.
In case you can’t read the article here, it is on page 26, the August 22 issue, which is on newsstands now.
I hope these tips will help people understand that they can take control of their credit and create the score they desire. There is no need to be a victim when it comes to your credit profile.
What’s more, you are not required to have perfect credit in order to get a home loan. Recently, I helped a first-time home owner who had six open collection accounts close on a charming three-bedroom, ranch style home–and she did not have to pay off the petty collections (total under $2,000) in order to do so.
As always, thank you for subscribing to my blog. If you have a topic on mortgage, home buying, or credit that you’d like to see, please email me here.

I will definitely go out and purchase so I can read the article. All.of your tips in your book have helped me tremendously in cleaning up my credit with all 3 major bureaus. From reading your book, I feel like I now know how to understand credit and creditors much better! In a matter of just a few months, I have increased my fico score over 50+ points!!!
Thank you for sharing your success with us, Valerie. 50 points is a significant improvement!
Congratulations Carolyn. Very nice article!
Thank you, Tom! I know Tom Arnold Properties is a highly respected real estate agency in the Vacaville CA and surrounding area. So your compliment means a lot.
