| -CREDIT/DEBT COLLECTION PAGE Mounting debt, high interest rates and collector harassment are some of the biggest problems facing many people today. This page contains information, tips and strategies for those with very little debt and outstanding credit, those with a mountain of debt and a constantly ringing phone from debt collectors and everyone in between. Find information on Federal and State laws and regulations that protect you from predatory lending practices and harassment by collectors as well as practical information about using (or abusing) credit. |

| -CONSUMER FRAUD Learn what laws protect you from fraudulent sales practices as well as practical advice for handling large consumer sales transactions, such as buying a house, car or computer. |

| -IDENTITY THEFT Identity theft (using someone else's name, social security number, bank account/credit card information to steal money or obtain credit fraudulently) is one of the fastes growing crimes in the world today. Find out how to protect yourself as well as what to do if you've been victimized. |

| -SPAM EMAIL Spam email (unsolicited and unwanted advertising messages sent to you via email) is also a huge problem facing us today. While to some it may just be inconvenient or annoying, businesses lose thousands of dollars each day in lost productivity and bandwith dealing with it all. And businesses aren't the only victims. Many individuals find themselves inundated with unwanted messages on a daily basis. To make matters worse, some children and parents find themselves face to face with unwanted pornography or obscene materials sent as spam. While the legislature works to come up with a workable solution to dealing with this problem, there are things you can do to deal with it yourself. And if you find that your child has been exposed to a pornographic or obscene spam email, please let me know. I am currently making attempts to use federal laws to track down and punish pornographic spammers. |
