What It Takes to Win in Court: Building the "Paper Trail"

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Tue, 04/21/2015 - 22:35

Probably one of the most frequent problems I encounter with new cases clients bring to my office is the lack of documentary evidence.

No one bothers to put down in writing that agreement with the brother-in-law or "friend" about the business they were starting together, the house one was going to buy (by signing on the mortgage) and which the other was going to "own" (by going on the title) and paying the mortgage, the investment they were going to make together, or any other manner of legal arrangements.

What's Worse Than a BAD Credit History? NO CREDIT HISTORY AT ALL!

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Sat, 04/04/2015 - 03:01

It may not be a well-know fact, but the truth is a lot of financially-responsible people are turned down for loans because they have NO history of recent borrowing. None.

This may be because the person saves up and pays for purchases without financing, or because they have not bothered to start building a new credit history by borrowing (and showing on-time payments) after a major financial event such as a bankruptcy or foreclosure.

Many of these individuals are credit-worthy but the current credit reporting and scoring system is not set up to evaluate this.
