By James Parks

The Credit CARD Act, which went into effect in February 2010, provides important new consumer protections. But many consumers still are facing credit challenges. Union Plus is sponsoring a free online seminar by consumer credit educator Gerri Detweiler to help you navigate the new reality of credit.

 Space is limited so reserve your webinar seat now. To learn more and register for the “New Reality of Credit” webinar, click here. The hour-long webinar begins Thursday, May 13, at 8 p.m.

During the webinar, Detweiler will discuss:

• How the Credit CARD Act does (and doesn’t) help you get out of debt.
• How changes in credit scores may affect your ability to get the best deals and what you can do to help ensure your credit stays strong.
• The three best ways to rebuild a damaged credit rating.
• What parents need to know about their kids and credit after the CARD Act.
• How to take advantage of new programs aimed at helping homeowners stay in their home.

If you have a credit question you’d like Detweiler to answer, you can submit the question in advance by using the comment feature at www.unionplus.org/money-credit/credit-realities-webinar.
