Get All 3 Credit Scores

Allegations that California foreclosure auctions and tax deed sales are being manipulated have surfaced and the FBI is reportedly conducting an investigation. Rumors are circulating that speculators are rigging the bids at the auctions by paying some bidders to not make offers. This results in the auctioned property selling for a lower price. The auctions allow buyers to purchase properties at prices below market value. 

Reportedly, federal investigators have issued warrants in connection with the claims, citing possible instances of anti-competitive activities. If the California foreclosure auctions are found to be rigged, those participating can be charged with violation of the Sherman Antitrust Act.

If there is any advice that must be given to people with low credit scores, this might be one of the best: Let your creditor decide if you are not qualified for a mortgage. Many people are guilty of deciding for their own fate in this matter. However, you should just let the lender decide for you.

Blockbuster Video filed for bankruptcy last year, and is now beginning to sell off pieces of the business, even as complaints from landlords demanding rent continue to come in.

Westlaw News reports on the ailing video rental service that wasn’t able to keep pace with the changing DVD and video-on-demand markets. The recent reports say that Blockbuster has made an agreement with a limited liability company that will start to bid on parts of the company and begin courting interest from other bidders.

This part of the bankruptcy process starting the sell-off is called a “stalking horse” bid. The f

Congratulations! After being in debt for what probably seemed like an eternity, you are finally completely free from all debt. Now you’re probably wondering what you should do from here, right? A common problem for those newly freed from debt is what to do with their new found financial freedom.

Remember when you finally got out of your parent’s house and began your journey on your own? When you went out and did (in excess of course) all those things you could not do while under your parent’s roof? Just like that kind of behavior will land you right back in Mom and Dad’s basement, going overboard with your newfound money is a quick way to land you back in debt. If you
