Hi Sister Lena,perhaps you may remember me from "School of Common Sense" as Brother Larry Edwards.Just wanted to agree with your article-you are on the money about the credit score.I've sold new and used vehicles here in N.C. for 11years and the one of the big problems I have seen is people being overextended and they continue to apply for credit or other installment arrangements bringing their score down even lower. So much for that,Sister,e-mail me some times please to keep me abreast of the pulse. I still think you are

I am a real estate agent in Houston, Texas. I never really understood the importance of having good credit until seeing countless number of potential clients being denied a loan. Saddly enough, most of the people were people of color. Your article on howto raise your credit score is the exact same advise I give my clients who have credit issues. I think more black people need to educate their children at an early age about the importance of good credit, my mom did and I really appreciate her for that.

The type of information I need is about credit that is already flawed. How do you recover fromt that?

I'm not sure about the tip about not closing accounts. I've been given advice that was the opposite.
