The recent financial crunch has caused many would be credit issuers to tighten up on approvals for those consumer applicants with less than perfect credit. Even new credit seekers who do not have poor FICO scores, but also have not had the opportunity to establish a good credit profile as of yet are being turned away and treated as high risk applicants.
The problem for people who fall into either of these categories is that they have a legitimate need to either establish or re-establish their good credit profile and raise their FICO score, however without easy access to credit card approvals their ability to accomplish this necessary task is extremely difficult. Ironically, it’s these same card issuers who would like their applicants to have established solid credit histories who will not approve them in the beginning to help them prove that they are worthy of a new card approval. This vicious credit circle affects over half of the households in American today.
A few companies have recently stepped in to fill the credit needs of this growing consumer segment and offer instant online approval credit cards for people with bad credit or no credit history at all. T

Dear Erica,
I have a credit card with a $25,000 spending limit. Ive had it for some time. Lately I find Ive been using it more than I should, and now have $3,000 in debt. If I request my credit limit to be lowered to, say, $3,500, will this have a negative impact on my credit rating? Dianne
Dear Dianne,
Halt! Do not reduce your charging limit. Not quite yet, anyway, as it most definitely will hurt your credit score. To understand why, you’ll need to know how such scores FICO scores, specifically work.
All credit scores are generated from the information on a credit report, but some of that data is weighted much more heavily than others. The most important factor is payment history, at 35 percent. Yet just below that at 30 percent is “amounts owed.” This section takes into account several factors, including your current debt on different types of credit products (like installment loans, lines of credit and mortgages) in relation to the amount you can borrow.

The media hype surrounding today’s release of “The Hunger Games” has been hard to miss. The movie is based on the smash hit book series by Suzanne Collins. While it’s a young adult novel and much like the “Twilight” series, the compelling storyline appeals to readers of all age groups. It’s also dark and dystopian, which makes it feel more adult. I enjoyed the trilogy, so I definitely plan to see the movie, especially since it’s getting positive reviews so far.
The book is told from the perspective of Katniss Everdeen, a hardy 16-year-old who lives in Panem, a country that was once the United States before a violent revolution. All of the riches and power are now solely in The Capitol. The rest of the country is divided into districts; some districts are wealthier or better off, though some, like the one where Katniss lives, is very impoverished. She illegally hunts animals to help feed her mother and little sister.
Here’s where things get grisly.
