As I Use It....
Four(4) things to look at when deciding if debt-restructuring, or other 'too-good-to-be-true' offers are a scam:
1. Does it require paying money up-front?
2. Does the company profess a 100% success rate?
3. Does the company claim to work for the government?
4. Are you told to make any future mortgage or other payments directly to them, instead of your original debtor?
Any of these suggest you WILL be ripped-off!
- Food prices in Arizona continue to fall, in direct correlation to the taste of the fresh produce. Ugh!
- The national minimum wage is now increased to $7.25/hour. While proponents suggest the extra income will pour back into the economy, data shows that states with previously higher minimums(Arizona, among them) also have the highest unemployment rates!
- New York City and New York State have agreed to repay the government $540M in false medicare claims. If the feds conduct similar audits in each of the other states, then nationwide healthcare ills may be easy to cure!
- Congress wants no part of a timetable to reform healthcare problems, basically the same as when President Clinton began the same effort in 1993!
- Hospitals and pharmaceutical corporations have pledged more than $1Trillion in savings, over the next ten years. Can you imagine the profits they've been making, while 50 million Americans suffer with lack of access to quality, affordable care?!
- Pension and medical benefit cost commitments are apparently what are hurting most U.S. corporate survival abilities. Fortune 500 CEOs suggest that after 30 years of laboring to fund billion-dollar buyouts, workers have a duty to die, instead of retiring, thereby proving company loyalty!
- Taco Bell is offering a 1/2 pound Mexican Burger Special, in memory of their Chihuahua mascot that recently died, but hurry in, as there are only two!
